The main focus of the healing hospital paradigm is a holistic approach and addresses the healing of the whole person physically, emotionally and spiritually. Healing hospitals also take into consideration the body, soul, mind and spirit of the whole person and their environment as part of the healing and recovery process. In a healing hospital, a holistic approach and a family-centered environment are crucial to the patients' healing process. A hospital that heals must embrace three important components such as an environment that is conducive to healing, a combination of technology and work design, and providing a culture of loving care (Eberst, 2008). This article will discuss the concepts of a healing hospital, the relationship that spirituality plays in the healing and recovery of patients, as well as the challenges and barriers in creating a healing environment. In today's healthcare, the main goal is not just to help the patient improve or cure diseases; Many healthcare organizations are starting to recognize the benefits and importance of providing patients with a healing environment. A healing physical environment is one that provides safety and comfort to patients. It also reminds healthcare personnel why they chose healthcare as a career (Eberst, 2008). A healing hospital is a culture of healing that respects people's traditions and values. A healing environment is about providing patients with a loving, safe, comfortable, and compassionate environment that promotes healing.

James 5:13-16 supports the concept of a healing hospital because it shows the relationship between the healing process and spirituality in the form of prayers. When people suffer they pray. Prayer allows people to surrender all their doubts, insecurities, and struggles to God. Prayers put people at ease where they find comfort and peace. For some people, especially when they are hurting and suffering, the most effective thing they can do is pray because praying reminds them that God is near and will not abandon them.
