Partners for Better Health
Spiritual care at Columbus Regional
Healthcare System is possible thanks to the
CRHS Foundation and to a partnership with
Carolinas HealthCare System. Our chaplain,
Jeremy Simmons, MDiv, serves as a resident
in the Clinical Pastoral Education program.
This program provides support for Simmons
while CRHS patients, families and staff
benefit from his education and experience.
"Just as Simmons is sharing resources from
Carolinas HealthCare, we're learning from
CRHS," says Reverend David Carl, executive
director of spiritual care and education
at Carolinas HealthCare and Simmons'
administrative and clinical supervisor. "It's
a mutual opportunity made possible by the
astuteness of the leadership team at CRHS,
as well as the willingness of the clinicians to
ensure that patients receive holistic care."
WE KNOW YOUR FAITH MATTERS TO
YOU. THANKS TO OUR PARTNERSHIP
WITH CAROLINAS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM,
SPIRITUAL CARE AT COLUMBUS REGIONAL
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM PROVIDES SUPPORT
FOR PATIENTS OF ALL FAITHS.
Anyone experiencing an inpatient stay at a
hospital counts on excellent medical care from
trained physicians and staff. Attending to the
spiritual and emotional needs that come along
with a hospital stay is just as important.
"When patients are facing a crisis, spirituality can
be a powerful coping mechanism," says Jeremy
Simmons, MDiv, chaplain at CRHS. "It's vital
to have a trained spiritual care provider to help
patients navigate through events that are life-changing.
Spiritual care is important in a hospital setting because it
provides an opportunity for a holistic approach to care."
