The mission of Wellstar's Department of Spiritual Health is to enhance the spiritual health and well‑being of every person we serve. Our vision is to deliver world‑class spiritual care to every person, every time. We do this by impacting the healing experience through compassionate presence, hope and collaboration with patients, residents, families, staff and the community. Our five‑fold values are defined by professional and compassionate Religious/Spiritual/Humanist (R/S/H) care;

evidence‑based practice; partnership with diverse voices; local R/S/H community leaders; and honoring the past while building toward the future. As a clinically‑trained Chaplain (PRN), you will offer spiritual health care and emotional support to patients/residents, families and support systems from all faith traditions. You will perform spiritual assessments, develop individualized care plans, offer spiritual interventions, collaborate with the multidisciplinary team and provide beginning‑of‑life and end‑of‑life support, legacy work and bereavement care.

You will work closely with the faith community, create a network of support, educate team members on self‑care and compassion fatigue, and participate in the on‑call rotation as determined by site‑specific needs.
