Spiritual care is an integral component of the healing process, and in this episode, Allison Kestenbaum and Rev. Katie Whipple-Hatelvig join us from the UCSD Chaplain and Spiritual Care Services.  These two individuals provide compassion and spiritual support to both patients and families, offering a variety of services including crisis intervention, spiritual support, support in decision making and ethical dilemmas, providing prayers, blessings, rituals, and end-of-life support.  Specifically, learn how Allison and Katie wander along the delicate lines of faith and beliefs while offering guidance during one’s End of Life Experience, including paths such as Medical Aid in Dying.
