Spiritual First Responders: Reflections from a Hospital Chaplain April 10, 2020
Hospital chaplains usually work behind the scenes, but the coronavirus has brought them to the front line of the response, working to support not only patients and their families but also doctors, nurses, and other first responders. Rev. David Fleenor, an Episcopal chaplain at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, and Dr. Keisha McKenzie, senior vice-president for programs at New York’s Auburn Seminary, describe how they are practicing self-care and teaching other front-line spiritual responders to do the same.
