The Duties of a Hospice Chaplin
Michell McGill June 25, 2012 BSHS/302 Tami Frye
Hospice Care and Hospice Counseling is a growing profession, which is being incorporated in many hospital and doctor’s offices today. Today there are many private companies who provide these services and they employ Chaplains to assist the patient and the families in making many decisions in reference to end of life wishes. There are many misconceptions as to the purpose of Hospices and the services they provide.
The Hospice Chaplin can supply services such as emotional comfort, assist with reconciliation, assist with funeral/ memorial service and any other concerns the patients may have.
My own misconception was a reason that I felt the need to research and find out more information.
There are many ways to interview an agency, telephone calls, personal interview, and email or an investigative interview as a potential client. I choose an email interview because of the work schedule of the Chaplin and our inability to find a convient time for each of us to meet.
