Spiritual Care in Women's Reproductive Health Conference

Pittsburgh, PA US
November 10, 2022

Each individual human being has a spiritual nature, a part of life particularly important during times of suffering. This makes spiritual care an integral component of comprehensive healthcare. Certain dramatic complications in women's reproductive health (cancer, maternal death, stillbirth, miscarriage, birth anomalies, and infertility) have tremendous emotional impact on women and their families. Spiritual care involves paying attention to patients' values and beliefs, which requires specific skills and specialized training and experience. A deep emotional relationship founded on trust and confidence is required. Persons attending this conference will learn about the benefits of spiritual care and the important role hospital chaplains play as critical members of the healthcare team.
