Muskoka Algonquin Health Care (MAHC) has a mandate to provide Spiritual Care at its Bracebridge and Huntsville hospital sites.
To accomplish this care, they rely on the Muskoka Chaplaincy Association (MCA) to hire a Spiritual Care Coordinator (SCC).
The purpose of the SCC position is:
-On-site interfaith spiritual care services one day per week at each site (8hours/day for 2 days per week)
-Coordination of a team of volunteers who provide spiritual care services at regular and on-call hours of their choosing
-Working collaboratively with hospital management, local faith community leaders and hospice
Our current Spiritual Care Provider retires in April, but will be available to train her replacement and ensure a smooth transition.
If you would like to be a part of the Muskoka Chaplaincy Association, or join the volunteer team on-site in the hospitals, please contact me through email. Volunteer training is provided by MCA free-of-charge through an online program recognized by the MAHC and the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care.
I am the Chair of the Muskoka Chaplaincy Association, and we’d love to have your help!
