A full-color collection of paintings, photographs, sculptures, poetry, short stories, and essays. Inspired by our reader's comments and high rating of the "Soul of the Healer" section of The Permanente Journal (TPJ), we created this book to bring together the art and stories they remark are so beautiful and uplifting.

This Soul of the Healer book is organized chronologically from the first issue in Summer 1997 to the Fall 2003 issue. Selected pieces are grouped together by issue. Contributers' biographies accompany their work, so you get to know them and hear their voices. The written pieces have also been indexed in the Table of Contents by theme.

This softbound 150-page book brings together in one volume the creative contributions of Permanente clinicians from the first seven years of publication. It is a powerful showcase of the heart and spirit of our clinicians and the diversity of the people of Kaiser Permanente.
