How a hospital chaplain’s role is evolving during the coronavirus crisis (Charlotte Observer)

 

By Rick Bonnell, April 6, 2020, Charlotte Observer 

As healthcare workers face unprecedented challenges during the new coronavirus pandemic, veteran Charlotte hospital chaplain David Carl offers a simple reminder: You can’t sustain caring for others if you disregard caring for yourselves.

“One of our mantras is, ‘Self-care leads to best care.’ ” said Carl, who oversees Atrium Health’s pastoral education program.

Carl met with 30 Atrium hospital chaplains Friday via video conferencing, addressing the stressors on the healthcare system caused by the spread of COVID-19; how that taxes everyone from patients to families to doctors, nurses and volunteers.
