A hospital admission comes with a wide variety of experiences. For some, while in hospital, a new diagnosis or change in care plan means that a patient or the patient's family are processing far more than anticipated. Spiritual Care addresses the internal dynamics of meaning-making and re-centering ourselves with purpose. In a hospital setting, a Spiritual Health Practitioner is invited to join the care team when a patient or family member consents to more conversation about their diagnosis, death, or changing capacities. This offering of care in Canada has been long-standing, as 2025 marked 100 years for the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care. Here in Kamloops, spiritual care has been available at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) for nearly 30 years. Emotional support, spiritual care, or religious liaising looks different for every patient. In this course, you will hear from Jane Gingrich, Spiritual Health Practitioner, about spiritual care with RIH in Kamloops. She will also point out local research people have access to.
