Send us some LOVE!

Ever wondered how simple acts of kindness can bring peace to someone in their final moments? Join us in this heartfelt episode featuring John Wenderlein, a dedicated hospice chaplain who shares his unique journey from seminary to the profound world of hospice care. John opens up about the contrasting roles of hospice and hospital chaplaincy, shedding light on how holistic and compassionate care can sometimes lead to unexpected improvements in patients' conditions. Through John's eyes, we gain a deeper understanding of how hospice care goes beyond palliative relief, extending emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families.
