Clinical Pastoral Education
The College of Pastoral Care is accepting applications for CPE fall 2010 programs in and around metropolitan New York.
“Unlike most clinical pastoral education programs that are housed in one institution, HealthCare Chaplaincy has created a model of education and pastoral/ spiritual care that brings several unrelated institutions under one umbrella. This is the kind of innovation that is its hallmark.”– The Rev. Dr. Teresa Snorton, Executive Director of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education
Whole person care is both a modern and classic imperative: “As you ought not to attempt to cure the eyes without the head, or the head without the body, so neither ought you to attempt to cure the body without the soul..For the part can never be well unless the whole is well...And therefore, if the head and body are to be well, you must begin by curing the soul.” – “Charmides,” in The Dialogues of Plato, trans. B. Jowett (New York: Random House, 1937), 1.6.
“Palliative care helps the whole person –body, mind, and spirit. Understanding and satisfying the patient’s spiritual needs is vital to effective palliative care, and I view HealthCare Chaplaincy to be expert in this field.”– R. Sean Morrison, MD, Professor of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Director, National Palliative Care Research Center
"HealthCare Chaplaincy's professional chaplains are an important part of our health care team. I'm convinced that they help improve outcomes in difficult medical situations. They bridge cultural gaps, and bring comfort and support to patients, families and staff who are dealing with great stress." – Jim Foy, President and CEO, St. John's Riverside Hospital, Yonkers, NY
“HealthCare Chaplaincy remains the gold standard of research and advocacy on behalf of professional chaplaincy. It continues to initiate and sustain dialogues and projects on critical professional issues. We highly value its leadership.” – David A. Lichter, D.Min., Executive Director, National Association of Catholic Chaplains
“HealthCare Chaplaincy’s professional staff serve as members and officers of our board of directors and participate within its governance structure at the local, state, and national level.” – The Rev. Sue Wintz, President, Association of Professional Chaplains
