HealthCare Chaplaincy Names 11 Patient Care Honorees
At the celebration, HCCN will recognize Patient Care Honorees – those who selflessly and tirelessly give spiritual care and comfort to those they serve. The Honorees are drawn from every level at their hospital or institution, from social workers and therapists to doctors, nurses and chaplains – demonstrating that spiritual care can be provided by all.
"We at HealthCare Chaplaincy Network and the Spiritual Care Association recognize our Patient Care Honorees are doing important work, and doing it well. Their ability to show caring and compassion is amazing,” said the Rev. Eric J. Hall, CEO of HCCN and Spiritual Care Association.
HCCN put out the call for nominees, and the response was overwhelming. The 11 honorees chosen represent eight U.S. states, from New York to Mississippi to California.
