• Assist families during times of grief, loss, or transition, and provide bereavement support and counseling.

• Build relationships with local faith leaders and community resources to support patients' and families' unique spiritual needs.

• Maintain timely and accurate documentation of spiritual assessments, interventions, and outcomes.
