A Message from the Annual Campaign Chair
|
|
By Miriam Needham
It is a rainy cold Friday in Atlanta and does not promise to be a sunny weekend - as April in Atlanta often is. And so I am looking for a way to bring some sunshine into the dreariness as I am pondering what to write to my ACPE colleagues and friends. So let me begin with some 'sunshine' news.
I am so pleased to be able to announce to you on behalf of the FCPE Board that the Co-Chair for our ACPE Annual Campaign for this year is Bill Scrivener. Bill will serve as co-chair with me for the balance of this year and will become the Chair in 2014. I know that I do not need to introduce Bill to most of you. He is a past President of the ACPE, past Chair of the ACPE Certification Commission and has given creative and dedicated service in many capacities through the years. Bill has been for many years the Director of the Pastoral Services Department of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati. From its beginnings, Bill has been a loyal supporter of the mission of our Foundation: to protect and grow our ACPE endowment and support our program needs and visions. I am very grateful to have Bill's expertise as Co-Chair for the remainder of this year, and you will see our joint efforts as we move forward. Thank you, Bill, for your willingness to join me in this worthy effort on behalf of our beloved Association of Clinical Pastoral Education.

Spiritual Care Initiative for Professional Excellence (SCIPE) Request
|
Have any hospitals, rehab facilities, nursing homes or similar institutions in your area (city, state, or region) recently cut back or abolished their professional spiritual care departments?
It is likely that in the near future almost all US Health Care professionals - doctors, nurses and members of the ancillary disciplines, including chaplains and CPE Supervisors - will likely be paid on the basis of the quality of their performance -P4P- by achieving evidence based best practice desired outcomes that impact institutional bottom lines positively. As a non-income-generating function, professional spiritual care is at risk of termination.
