Like those they serve, Medical Center chaplains have endured moments of pain and loss. As one of them put it, this has made him better at his job. Which is fortunate, because every day, in patient rooms or in one of UMMC’s two interfaith chapels, these specially trained ministers are confronted with the grief of others seeking solace and, often, answers. This is why they do it.

Several interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.
