August 2012 Audio Conference
Presented by Mary Lou O’Gorman, M.Div., BCC and Jane Smith, D.Min., BCC
Program Summary
How does one frame and structure spiritual care work within the context of mission? Spiritual care leaders are required to create, structure, and sustain spiritual care services that integrate with the organization’s mission. This audio series will explore via cases (system, long term care, acute care, hospice) how to think through the process of developing the scope of practice and standards that align with the institution’s mission.
