Spiritual Caregiver (Volunteer)
2019 - 2020
Peter formerly served as a Spiritual Caregiver in the Chaplain's office at The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC), where he visited with the sick and dying in order to attend to the spiritual needs of patients, their families and the hospital staff during emergency, longterm care and hospice situations. His current rotations included the Emergency Department (ER/ED) as well as the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) as well as the Medical ICU. His clinical hours at TBHC are complemented by a 9 month training program at the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care called The Foundations in Contemplative Care Program. Using the Buddhist precepts as a springboard for discussion and activity, students of Foundations learn 1) to perceive the suffering around them, 2) bring interpretative rigor to what they perceive, 3) see events from multiple points of view and be moved to compassionate action through the principles of bearing witness and not knowing. These skills will be acquired within the restrictions (time, costs, etc.) of the current environment for health care workers.
