A Community of Chaplains for First Responders

Spiritual Care Association is launching a Community of Chaplains specifically for First Responders. We recognize the unique needs of chaplains deployed in critical response, EMT, police, fire and other settings that are not traditional healthcare settings. If you are a First Responder chaplain trained, certified, or volunteer, whether experienced or just starting out, consider the benefits of connecting once a month in a small group via Zoom with others much like yourself. To join the First Responder Community of Chaplains, email Chaplain David Pascoe at [email protected].

Raise Your Voice: Chaplains and Advance Care Planning Act

For the last 10 years, HCCN and SCA have maintained an active role and presence in Washington D.C. through our advocacy partners Akin Gump. We have been successful in influencing legislation, meeting with government agencies including Medicare/Medicaid, and holding face-to-face conferences with elected officials and their staffers. I am proud to say we have successfully raised the image and importance of the profession of chaplaincy and the field of spiritual care. However, there is more to do and today I need to ask for YOUR voice!

I have written to the Improving Access to Advance Care Planning Act (S. 4873) co-sponsors, Senator Mark Warner and Senator Susan Collins, to ask that they consider specifically including board certified chaplains as eligible practitioners who may work with doctors to discuss advance care planning with patients and their families. I am asking you to do the same.

Equipping Chaplains for the Current Mental Health Crisis

By Eric J. Hall

Health care experts have sounded the alarm that COVID-19 exacts not just a physical toll but a mental toll also.
