Dave Bettenhausen serves as the vice president of medical affairs at a small Midwestern hospital. Whether he is at the hospital or his private practice, he coaches his patients daily about their well-being mentally, physically and spiritually. He believes in a holistic approach to life and regularly lectures and conducts discussions with groups of patients and physicians on healthcare. He has a personal interest in the stages of grief with death, dying and spirituality.
Before he entered medical school, Dave practiced as a registered nurse for ten years. After years in private practice as a physician in Ohio, meditation led him to an encounter with a set of wise spiritual beings known as Mother, Isabella, God & Elizabeth, who revealed many past lives to Dave. Through the insights Dave received during meditation, he underwent a personal transformation and regained his sense of self, which led to a weight loss of 116 pounds. He again found his joy in practicing medicine and with his patients.
