Walt Disney World ResortOrlando, Florida

The 2015 conference will build upon this momentum to stimulate professional dialogue, education and research, and help create effective spiritual care in health care.

The ONLY conference of its kind

The more than 300 attendees of the first Caring for the Human Spirit Conference in 2014 concurred: “This was not just a conference. It was a transformative experience.”

The 2014 conference advanced the rigorous and long-overdue study of spiritual care in health care and set the agenda for future research in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. Leading experts in the field of palliative care presented and discussed the latest developments, strategies, best practices and research from six major academic medical centers nationwide.

“The conference is a landmark in the progress of health care,” says 2014 conference keynote speaker Charles F. von Gunten, MD, PhD, Vice President of Medical Affairs, Hospice and Palliative Care for the Ohio Health System.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to be in the spotlight by joining us as a partner of the 2015 Caring for the Human Spirit™ Conference.

About HealthCare Chaplaincy Network™

The Advantages of Sponsorship

The Crucial Connection of Health Care & Spirituality

Over70% of Americans say spirituality is a crucial aspect of their health care. (Sources: Journal of Clinical Oncology 2007, Journal of Family Practice 1994, Association of American Medical Colleges)

Spirituality is a

“fundamental aspect of compassionate, patient and family centered care that honors the dignity of all persons.” (Source: Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care issued by the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care)

Addressing emotional and spiritual needs

improves patient and family satisfaction. (Sources: The Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling 2004, Critical Care Medicine 2007, Mayo Clinic Proceedings 2008)

�The�Wall�Street�Journal�reports that the

role of spirituality in health care is growing, as more people are recognizing that whole-person care encompasses spirit, mind, and body.
