This guiding principle allows her to "walk alongside" patients, entering their unique stories, listening attentively, and ensuring they feel heard and respected in their journey.

Alicia reminds us that a chaplain's role extends beyond religious support to encompass our entire spirituality, promoting truly holistic care that tends to the mind, body and spirit.
