APPLY NOW!What Did Chaplains Do During COVID-19 & Civil Unrest?
They went where others could not go...
The pandemic compelled Chaplains to practice at the top of our training. Early in the pandemic, Hennepin’s Hospital Incident Command leadership deemed Chaplains essential personnel because of our well-established role in providing spiritual and emotional support during end-of-life situations. While entering COVID-positive patient rooms was anxiety provoking at first (especially as personal protective equipment [PPE] supplies and protocols fluctuated), we felt privileged to stand with other disciplines in caring for patients who had been denied physical access to their loved ones because of visiting restrictions.
Rev. David Hottinger, Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, MN
