As healthcare migrates to clinics, surgery sites and non-acute locations, chaplains must urgently follow in order to best serve patients and staff. Exploring new opportunities for spiritual care without embedding, follow Bon Secours Mercy Health’s Cincinnati pilot, Outpatient Spiritual Care Services, during their first full year and into a regional roll-out. While not a ‘primer’, this workshop provides ample encouragement for others to find their own vision for the future. It explores how determination, connection and grant funding can be a catalyst for migration of services as the progressive and pro-active mandate for the future of professional chaplaincy in healthcare!
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Vision chaplaincy through expanded lenses and view outpatient Chaplaincy in healthcare as a 21st century horizon that is reachable if driven by Mission AND clinical.
- Understand how vision, clinical support(s) and alternate funding can help create initial lift while exploring the realities of capacity, staffing and economic opportunities for chaplain’s long-term advancement/expansion
- Vicariously experience the practicalities, unexpected high-point and unforeseen stumbling blocks our pilot encountered in the initial two years since inception in April 2016.
