Online Community

NEW! – Hospice and Palliative Care Chaplain Community of Practice (H/PC CoP) is an unaffiliated online discussion network for chaplains working or training to work in hospice and palliative care. It is co-moderated by Denise Hess and Allison Kestenbaum and hosted on the Mighty Networks platform with technical support from Transforming Chaplaincy. This is a virtual space where hospice and palliative care chaplains and those interested in this specialty can build community, share clinical practices and resources, ask questions and more! To join visit: https://transforming-chaplaincy.mn.co/share/CsT9AD28wSFb3CZE?utm_source=manual

Supportive Care Coalition

The SCC’s stated goal is “to ensure that every Catholic health ministry has palliative care as a part of its core services so that we are known as much for palliative care as for our concern for the poor and vulnerable.”
