PRESS RELEASE – May 16, 2018 Salt Lake City, UT– Welcome to Rev. Nancy Cormack-Hughes as the new ECS Director of Spiritual Care, responsible for the spiritual well-being of healthcare staff, patients and their loved ones. She succeeds Rev. Nancy Piggott who will continue the work of ACPE Certified Educator for the accredited CPE™ program which is housed at St. Mark’s Hospital. Rev. Piggott has filled the dual-role of Director and Certified Educator since the Fall of 2016 and the unexpected loss of then Director, Fr. Lincoln Ure.

Episcopal Community Services (ECS) has been the provider for Spiritual Care at St. Mark’s Hospital since 1984. The hospital’s continued integration of physical and spiritual well-being, along with support of the nationally accredited clinical pastoral education program (ACPE CPE™), has helped ECS Spiritual Care to flourish. The program now provides highly skilled chaplains for St. Mark’s Hospital and increasingly for other hospitals within the HCA Division.

“It is with humility and excitement that I embark on this new journey with Episcopal Community Services and St. Mark's Hospital,” says Rev. Cormack-Hughes. “I pray that both existing and new relationships with staff and community will grow as together we pursue health, depth, and connection.”

​Rev. Cormack-Hughes is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity and Emphasis on Pastoral Care. She was Board Certified with the Association of Professional Chaplains in 2017 and following her Clinical Pastoral Education Residency at St. Mark’s Hospital under the direction of Fr. Ure.

Now on display at St. Mark's Hospital!  St. Mark's Hospital employees, patients and families are creating these small flags and offering prayers or intentions for those in their care.  Nearly 300 flags have been created so far. Thank you to Lead Staff Chaplain Saundra Shanti for her creative program development and commitment to spiritual healing.
