Hill Country Clinic Taking Donations in Campanale Name
Hill Country Health and Wellness Center is raising funds to name its Integrative Health Center after acupuncturist Frank J. Campanale.
Campanale died in 2006 of lung cancer at the age of 54, a devoted, gifted and beloved healer who treated thousands of patients in twenty-four years. He put in long hours and worked six days a week so that he could help as many people as he could. He was a kind and compassionate man. Patients often remarked that they felt better the minute he walked in the room.
Campanale served on the Hill Country Board of Directors until his death. He was excited about the prospect of putting his considerable knowledge, expertise and talent into developing the clinic’s new integrative health services. Naming the Integrative Health Center after Campanale will honor his deep and enduring contribution to the community and field of holistic medicine.
Hill Country’’s goal for this naming opportunity is $50,000. If anyone would like more information about how to donate, please contact Patrick Moriarty at 246-2764.
Thanks to Celeste White for this information.

I will never forget Frank and what he did for my family. He helped us many times through many crises! I still can’t believe he is gone! Many blessings to his wife and daughters. This is a very well deserved and fitting tribute to a great man.

Frank was one of my healers, and by far, my favorite. I was really saddened when he passed on. His knowledge of oriental medicines and techniques was just shy of packing one’s self up and shipping off to the Orient. As a stroke survivor, I was just learning that the Chinese had great clinics for recovering. I knew one couple (Dr. Pete Austin was a survivor) who journeyed that trip. It was my hope that Frank would apply those principles locally, but…
Peace, Larry

People who knew Frank Campanale knew that they had been given a gift. The second I saw his picture on this site, I fell back into the comfort and love in those amazing eyes. The man was a healer by heart and soul as well as by training. What a fitting tribute.

When I’d see Frank for my chronic sinus problems, I’d always try to take the first appointment in the morning. That way, he’d actually have more time to talk. In addition to his gifts as a healer, he was a fascinating human being. I hadn’t seen much of him the the years before his death, but I’ll always miss him. It’s hard not to miss a person that life seemed to shine a spotlight upon.
I was waiting for my appointment one day when his receptionist took a phone call. I heard her tell the patient that no appointments were available until the following week. She listened more, sighed, then put the phone down. She stepped back to talk to Frank. She came back to the phone. “He can fit you in at 6:15 tonight.” She hung up the phone, and looked at me. “That man cannot tell people no,” she said, exasperated.
That was Frank. He was a quiet hero, and I still can’t believe he’s gone.
