Charlotte A. Wytias, RN, MS, FNP
Program Manager, The Springs
Charlotte knew from the time she was nine years old that nursing was the career she was to follow.  She attended DePauw University in Greencastle, IN and received her BS in Nursing.  Her undergraduate program taught her about healing and helping others and the importance of relationships and communication for healing.  She also recognized the importance of touch for healing, so when she was in her graduate program earning her MS in Nursing, and Family Nurse Practitioner training and heard Dr. Dolores Kreiger, PhD, RN speak about Therapeutic Touch (TT), an energy therapy, she knew she was on her path.  Developing a curriculum based on the theories of TT, she and a colleague began teaching other nurses how to use their hands to feel the energy of another human being and then to modulate, change that energy through various means, to bring the body’s energy field into balance so it would be in better stead to heal.

This introduction into non-Western therapies launched her into a new career in which she brought her understandings to Clifton Springs Hospital just as the Integrated Health Committee was preparing to start The Springs.  She took the vision and the work the Committee had done and brought the vision to reality.

The vision of the Committee was to re-create the world-class healing center, incorporating the mineral springs Dr. Henry Foster created in 1850.  Charlotte continues to work with the rest of the hospital to integrate the therapies of the Springs to enhance the hospital’s goal of treating body, mind and spirit.
