Chaplains in the Health Care Trenches | Part 1

A CONVERSATION with two of our workplace heroes: Chaplains Gina Casey and Susan Cosio. In the best of times, the work of a chaplain is challenging. This is true for military, corporate, and government chaplains but In today’s health care context the stakes could hardly be higher. Hospital chaplains get to the bedsides of patients, sometimes in their final hours, separated from loved ones by pandemic restrictions. They work with family members of the sick and dying. They encourage and care for staff members and medical personnel, also under increased stress during a pandemic. They work in intimate, vulnerable contact with disease. They play a spiritual and pastoral role with folk of every imaginable religious, social, philosophical, economic, and relational orientation. This Forum took place on February 27, 2021.
