Thursday, December 5, 2019

Program Summary
At the heart of spiritual care is eliciting, listening to, discerning spiritual significance within, and honoring patient stories. Chaplains do not engage in this ministry in isolation, but rather within a web of connection. StoryCorps Legacy encourages and supports the act of reminiscence for people with serious illness and their families. This webinar will tell the story of how we became aware of StoryCorps Legacy, applied for and secured funding for the program, selected and trained Facilitators, partner with staff to identify patients for recording, and how we continue to spread the word and celebrate the fruits of this partnership.

Program Objectives

Preserve and share the stories of people affected by serious illness, including caregivers.
Articulate the necessity of organizational alignment (e.g. Patients First, Teamwork, patient engagement, employee engagement, Magnet Relationship Based Care, etc.).
Strategize ways of operationalizing Narrative Theology that honors patient/family/caregiver stories, partners with staff in enhanced listening, preserves the voice of the patient for generations to come.
