I have been away for too long. I am now working with Seaport Home Health and Hospice as hospice chaplain. We have the potential to grow and impact many families in the county. I intend to help our organization to be a real trauma informed agency and have the support of my CEO and Director of Patient Care Services (and colleagues).  I look forward to joining you all on July 6 to reconnect, learn and share.  Where will the meeting be?  Thanks.


Peace,

 

Jaime
