Lifelong Christian Scientist and recent Christian Science nurse, Hardian (Hardy) Soeprapto, has completed his Level Two training at Broadview. Congratulations Hardy! When asked how he got into Christian Science nursing, Hardy said, “Some people already know what they’re going to do [in life]. Others, like I once was, are still searching.” However, Hardy realized he’d found…

This month was abundant in healing testimonies; many of which surrounded the challenges of mobility. On three separate occasions, guests arrived at Broadview needing full bed care but overcame their mobility challenges and walked out our front door within a week! Most of these included challenges standing, so it was quite uplifting to witness these patients being…

What an excellent turnout at Broadview's "Christian Scientists Must Have a History!"* workshop on Saturday, April 8.

Broadview was delighted to have The Principia College Women’s Tennis team volunteer with us during their annual spring break trip to Los Angeles.

The team…

This meant she wouldn’t be joining her friends in the dining area for lunch and, regretfully, wouldn’t be attending the afternoon documentary – one she had requested to be shown and had been excited to see. After…

Hello all! It’s been a pleasure working as part of the Broadview family these last two weeks, and I’m very much looking forward to the many months to come! Before becoming a member of the Development Office, I enjoyed working at a local food market in Ashland, Oregon (mostly because of the endless food samples…

Healing this month has been abundant! Two guests are up and about – much more independent than when they arrived. We were also able to provide a healing atmosphere for some families who are full-time caregivers for their loved ones. The excellent metaphysics shared in our Discover Christian Science Nursing! workshop on Saturday, February 11th…
