What is HealthCare Chaplaincy?
HealthCare Chaplaincy is a national leader in the research, education and practice of spirit-centered palliative care, which reduces suffering and helps people with life-altering illness to live well and live fully. For 50 years, the Chaplaincy has helped more than five million patients, loved ones and staff—regardless of their religious affiliation—to find meaning and comfort. It collaborates with major medical institutions and other organizations, like the U.S. Navy and the Center to Advance Palliative Care, to foster public awareness and understanding of palliative care. HealthCare Chaplaincy is developing America’s first palliative care campus that will include a 120 unit enhanced assisted living residence, which will establish a best practice platform for a national demonstration research and education project to provide fully-integrated care to people with chronic and progressive illnesses.
