Dharmagiri St. Joseph’s Wholistic Healing Centre is a rural Hospital, which belongs to congregation of Medical Sisters of St. Joseph. The Medical Sisters of St. Joseph (MSJ) is an Oriental Religious Congregation for women canonically ascribed to the Syro-Malabar Church. The Congregation of the Medical Sisters of St. Joseph is the fruit of the deep God experience and merciful love of our reverend founder father, Servant of God Msgr. Joseph C Panjikaren (1888-1949) towards the sick and suffering.

Way back in 1989, a dispensary was started at St Josephs Convent to serve the sick and poor of Valliyode and surrounding area. Later in the year 1991, Dharmagiri St. Joseph’s Wholistic Healing Centre was officially started in a new building, under the leadership of Sr. Dr. Betty Nina, MD, who has adopted a model of the wholistic healing approach (Healing through Body mind and spirit). The OP and IP functions started and the operations were smooth with the relentless efforts of MSJ sisters. As the number of patients grew up, more buildings and facilities were added in the hospital to meet the needs. Today the hospital has 25 inpatient beds to cater the needs of the sick people. The spiritual legacy left by Msgr. Joseph C Panjikaran is so strong that the administrators have nurtured it assiduously, constantly upgrading hospital facilities, always keeping the poor at heart.
