Spiritual Care Connection Call – Demystifying Chaplaincy
Published June 10, 2026


Chaplaincy is often misunderstood, yet it plays a critical role in supporting patients, families, and care teams. Join the Spiritual Care Workgroup on a connection call to demystify chaplaincy – exploring what chaplains do, how they integrate into care teams, and the impact they have across care settings.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the scope of chaplaincy, common misconceptions, and the ways spiritual care contributes to whole-person care. The session will also highlight practical examples and real-world applications to help participants better understand how chaplaincy can support their own programs and organizations.
All participants are invited to engage and share perspectives through Zoom chat.
Connection Calls are a member benefit. Connection Calls do not provide patient experience education credit (PXE).
