Spirituality in Pharmacy

Abstract:

“The spiritual dimension cannot be ignored, for it is what makes us human.”1 Victor E. Frankl

Spirituality in health is a topic that is of increasing interest and importance to the health care community and patients.2 Acknowledging and incorporating spirituality into the care of patients is becoming increasingly recognized for its importance in treating the patient as a whole person (i.e., mind, body, and spirit).
