This week is National Spiritual Care Week, an opportunity to recognize the profound impact our staff chaplains have not only on patients but also on caregivers, families, and staff. For Beth Zambarano, a chaplain at Rhode Island Hospital, offering spiritual care to patients and their loved ones is deeply meaningful. "Being able to come alongside someone facing an unexpected diagnosis, supporting family members at a loved one’s bedside, or helping someone who has no network of support identify and draw from their own sources of strength - that’s meaningful work to me and I find that’s there’s something sacred about being invited into these moments. It’s where I feel most aligned with who I am and what I’m made for."

Thank you, Beth and all our spiritual care team across the Brown University Health system, for all the work you do in support of our patients, visitors, and team members!
