185 Donna Chacko: Gratitude for an Abundance of Health and Faith

July 26, 2022

Donna Chacko, MD, practiced medicine for 40 years, first as a radiation oncologist

and later, after retraining in her 50’s, as a family medicine doctor. While serving

people faced with poverty and homelessness, she learned that health involves far

more than the absence of disease. Donna’s professional experiences and her own

emotional suffering during a difficult first marriage led her to create Serenity and

Health, offering programs and blogs that teach us all the things we can do to have

abundant health. She also wrote a spiritual memoir (2021), Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s

Healing Journey, which is both memoir and instruction on being stewards of our

own health. Donna is at a new transition point which involves decisions about

writing a second book and living with her soon-to-be-retired second husband.


I came to believe that people who have ‘a faith’ can use it to gain an

abundance of health. - Donna Chacko MD
