title: The HealthCare Chaplaincy, Inc., New York, New York.
abstract: The HealthCare Chaplaincy is a not-for-profit center for health-related pastoral care, clinical education and research. With a professional staff of 24 chaplains and 11 CPE Supervisors, "The Chaplaincy," as it is called, has developed a multifaith, multi-institutional "Partnership Model" providing pastoral care leadership for a growing number of medical and health-related facilities (see the appendix for a current list). At the same time, these institutions constitute a campus for educating annually over 250 students representing 30 or more different denominations and faith groups. In connection with its new, seven-floor center in the heart of Manhattan, it has recently begun specialized community outreach programs, including sponsorship of a Jewish Institute for Pastoral Care, seminars for local clergy, and bereavement as well as other support groups. In a 13-year period of growth, the budget has risen from less than $300,000 per year to over $4 million in 1998.
