Congratulations to BYU Masters of Religion students for completing their 2020 CPE Unit

Picture
In January 2020, the ECS Spiritual Care Center at St Mark’s Hospital joined in partnership with Brigham Young University (BYU) to provide Clinical Pastoral Education to BYU students who are working towards a Master of Religious Education degree. Upon earning this degree, they will serve as chaplains in various settings of the US military branches.

This new endeavor began with great hopes for learning and growing together in the vocation of caring for souls, and even the unexpected detour of COVID-19 did not derail those hopes. We congratulate each of these students as they complete their ACPE CPE journey!

A new cohort of BYU students will join CPE in January 2021. We are excited to welcome them as together we equip more Latter-day Saint military chaplains who are called to this work.

Healing Hands Portrait Series

​To highlight our experienced and compassionate nurses and staff, St. Mark’s Hospital featured a portrait series throughout the facility to help connect patients to their caregivers in a meaningful and emotional way to humanize the hospital experience.

Healing Hands: Portraits and Stories of St. Mark’s Team Members featured the photographs of 36 St. Mark’s employees from various departments to honor the work they do for patients and families every day. Each portrait was accompanied by a story; some biographical, others anecdotes of experiences that led employees to become caregivers and healthcare professionals.
The exhibit was created to demonstrate the power of arts in medicine. The purpose of the portraits was to help build community by sharing personal, inspiring and real stories about the staff who will be caring for patients during what can often be an emotional time.
