Spiritual Care and Chaplaincy in a Virtual Age

Much of the health care process happens virtually these days. In the Catholic health ministry, how does spiritual care play into this equation?<br /><br />In the first episode of Health Calls season four, Jill Fisk, CHA's Director of Mission Services, and Justin Martin, a board-certified chaplain at Mercy St. Louis, join the show to discuss spiritual care in a virtual age. They discuss Mercy COVID Care @ Home, a program which recently won CHA’s Achievement Citation award, as well as the possibility of extending proactive chaplaincy services to different areas of care. Resources Mercy COVID Care @ Home: CHA’s 2023 Achievement Citation Video "Mercy chaplains tap technology to connect with COVID Care @ Home patients" (Catholic Health World article)
