Pacific College of Medicine

Medical Research on Intercessory Prayer and Cardiac Outcomes

Description

Pacific College of Medicine runs studies on intercessory prayer's impact on health, producing data that Senator Hoebuck cites to claim an 11% drop in cardiac events for prayed-for patients in double-blind trials. Hoebuck lists the college alongside other institutions to justify his demand for $115,000 in NIH funding during White House vote negotiations. The college supplies scientific backing that pressures Toby and the administration into weighing political gain against credibility.
