Hill Top Center
Nurturing and Witnessing Spiritual Healing
Hill Top Center is located 35 miles North of Chicago on a 42-acre wooded site. Individual patient rooms a private oasis for refreshment and healing. Each room has a lovely view of the spacious lawn and mature trees. A private pond, enhanced by a beautiful fountain, graces the property and provides a home for seasonal wildlife.
Those seeking Christian Science nursing services are expected to rely on spiritual means alone for healing as taught in Christian Science. Patients work daily with a Journal-listed Christian Science Practitioner of their choice.
Christian Science nursing is consistent with the precepts of Christian Science. Hill Top provides 24-hour care supervised by Journal-listed Christian Science nurses. Care may include bathing, walking, bed care, wound care, modification of foods, and reading aloud from authorized Christian Science literature.
