We will present programs we’ve developed at Loyola University Medical Center. The Comfort Care Project provides handmade fleece blankets to patients and families. Memorial Services for deceased members of the Loyola community empower co-workers to prepare a service that reflects the personality of their colleague. The Chaplain Mentor program introduces first year medical students to spirituality at the bedside. Monthly conferences allow the medical team to discuss ethical issues in the ICUs. Also included will be information on staff reflection booklets, support for mothers whose children died from gun violence, and staff defusings.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Demonstrate an understanding of how the Jesuit practice of pause, ponder, plan can help build resiliency.
- Learn an appreciation of meeting the needs beneath the medical needs of patients and families at the bedside and staff in the workplace.
- Create opportunities for improving community building through prayer, projects and outreach.
