Health Calls - CHA Podcast Current Season

Health Calls, the official podcast of the Catholic Health Association, addresses timely issues that promote the common good and a more just, healthy society. In Season Five of Health Calls, thought leaders from Catholic health care, academia, public policy and other sectors explore how humanity can thrive amidst rapid technological change. 

Season 5: Episode 12 - Expanding Virtual Spiritual Care

If Catholic health care providers want to treat the whole person, then spiritual care is a vital piece of that puzzle. So in an age when virtual health care is becoming more and more prevalent, how do we also expand the reach of virtual spiritual care?

Justin Martin, Director of Spiritual Care Innovation and Transformation at Mercy in St. Louis, Mo., returns to Health Calls to talk about his teams' latest efforts in the virtual spiritual care space. He discusses Mercy's transition from the COVID Care @ Home program, how the system pivoted to in-house technological solutions, and how to maintain trust with patients who may mistrust technological advances.
