Rogers Memorial Hospital Expands Spiritual Care Program
Oconomowoc, Wis. – Rogers Memorial Hospital has hired its first full-time Spiritual Care Coordinator since the inception of its spiritual care program. Christine Dawley joins the Rogers Memorial Hospital system as a specialist who focuses on the spiritual component of the healing process.
“Christine has been a welcome addition to the Spiritual Care Program,” said Terri Schultz, Rogers Memorial’s vice president of nursing, who also oversees the spiritual care program. “Since her arrival, we have been able to expand the spiritual care program to additional service areas including The Herrington Recovery Center, our residential center focused exclusively on chemical dependency. She has been very well received by staff and patients alike – we are excited to have her.”
Throughout the hospital’s history, the need for spiritual care had been met through volunteer clergy. However, as the number of requests for spiritual care services has increased, Rogers Memorial has hired two part-time chaplains in the past four years.
Rogers Memorial’s program provides spiritual care resources for patients, including nine different spiritual reflections groups and one-on-one counseling. Dawley’s arrival signifies a further commitment to the program, said Schultz.
Dawley graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee with a degree in Music Therapy and later went on to receive a Master of Science in Community Counseling with an emphasis in Pastoral Care from Mount Mary College. She is a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, and the American Counseling Association.
“For many of our patients their spirituality, healing and recovery are closely linked,” Dawley explained. “It is an honor and privilege to meet the unique spiritual needs of each patient and I look forward to building on the excellent foundation of spiritual care already in place at Rogers Memorial.”
