Medical Miracle Stories – How chaplains can talk with patients

How can chaplains best serve patients and families who seek healing through miracles, or attribute past progress to miracles?

“We are praying for a miracle.” “It’s in God’s hands.” “Only God knows.” These statements likely sound familiar to any clinician who has cared for a patient with a serious illness. Yet even the most experienced clinicians may feel caught off-guard when patients and families use religious- or spiritual-based coping to guide healthcare decisions. This webinar will help chaplains better serve patients and families who turn to the miraculous in search of healing, or attribute medical progress to miraculous intervention.
