"You're here and now - not wherever you came from or where you're going to after class," instructor Joanne Marshall told her class of nine participants as they inhaled deeply, holding their hands in together against their chests.

His main responsibility will be to coordinate the efforts of doctors and other health care professionals who work at the hospital. He said he was appointed before the hospital's completion so that he and his team of doctors and researchers can begin preparing for the transition.
