Meet Our Spiritual Care Team

All of our chaplains have had advanced religious or spiritual training and at least one unit of clinical pastoral education (CPE). CPE is an interfaith educational experience, open to people of all faiths and traditions, that uses an action-reflection-action instructional method and supervised practice in realworld settings to prepare clergy and spiritual care practitioners to provide professional spiritual care.
