Josiah O. Hoagland, MDiv
Spiritual Care Coordinator, Essentia Health, Itasca Hospice
I work as both a full time hospice chaplain in Grand Rapids, MN and as a part time Minnesota Army National Guard chaplain. The work I do is innovative in that I have had the opportunity to creatively work with patients through this time of COVID-19 by making phone calls and computer video connections.
As a Minnesota National Guard chaplain I have had the innovative work of inspiring and counseling soldiers as they provided security in the midst of the riots in Minneapolis, MN.
It is a privilege to work alongside and collaborate with colleagues in both fields during this season.
