What a Chaplain Looks Like

Following her chaplain residency at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, WA, Minda Lane worked as the staff chaplain for Virginia Mason (VMFH) in Seattle. Returning to her roots in Community Health, she subsequently accepted a role with VMFH developing a curriculum to address loneliness and social isolation among seniors, which led to her current post at Horizon House, a non-profit continuous care retirement community with more than 400 residents.

While bedside chaplaincy is her vocational passion, Minda enjoys the challenge of meeting both faith-based and secular needs within a new environment and is amazed by the power of community in enhancing quality of life. We are stronger together!
