Hospice of the Bluegrass receives grant from Association of Clinical Pastoral Education

The Times-Tribune

CORBIN — Special to the Times-Tribune

Hospice of the Bluegrass is proud to announce receipt of an $8,500 program award by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. This award will assist in making clinical pastoral education more accessible to parish clergy and chaplains in Southeastern Kentucky.

As a provider of hospice care to terminally ill patients and families in 32 counties in Central, Northern, and Southeastern Kentucky, Hospice of the Bluegrass recognizes the significant need for clinically trained hospice chaplains. For over 10 years, HOB has coordinated an accredited ACPE program.

Hospice of the Bluegrass has long valued the presence of clergy equipped with effective end-of-life care skills so that all patients might have competent spiritual care at the end of life no matter their location.

“With this grant from the ACPE, Hospice of the Bluegrass now has the capability to expand the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program to Southeastern Kentucky. This provides a unique opportunity to increase the availability of clinical education for local parish pastors, hospital chaplains, and hospice chaplains,” said Carol Green ACPE Coordinator at HOB.

This program is available for clergy persons interested in further development of their skills in pastoral care and end of life care.

CPE is a 400-hour course which includes a minimum of 100 hours of direct instruction with the remaining hours in ministry assignments. This 14-week unit begins Monday, Sept. 13 and ends Tuesday, Dec. 21. The program requires a commitment of 29 hours per week of ministry and instructional time which may include service to a local church.

Applications are currently being accepted which includes a written application, $50 non-refundable application fee, and an admissions interview with the CPE Supervisor and a member of the Professional Consultation Committee. Applications are available at www.hospicebg.org.
