We thank Providence Holy Cross Medical Center for their support for this webinar.
Join Kevin Deegan, hospital chaplain at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, to discuss a recent LA Times article on Deegan’s spiritual care service in the COVID pandemic. We are also joined by Pulitzer finalist (2012) Francine Orr, a photojournalist who accompanied Chaplain Kevin in his work at Providence Holy Cross.
We will learn more about Deegan’s framing of chaplaincy as taking place on sacred ground as well as why journalists have taken note of spiritual care and what it means for the broader public.
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center is grateful for the opportunity to sponsor this compelling discussion: “Chaplain Kevin Deegan’s time spent with Los Angeles Times photographer Francine Orr made it possible for her to tell a beautiful yet heart-wrenching story of our caregivers’ work through the eyes of chaplains and others during some of the most challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Special thanks to Francine, whose professionalism and deep respect for the dignity of our patients and their families led to unprecedented coverage of an extremely significant moment in history.
Her work placed a spotlight on chaplains and the incredibly important role they play in patient care and family healing. They truly live our Providence Promise: Know me, care for me, ease my way.”
