The unique magazine dedicated to advancing the integration of spiritual care in health care.

SCA publishes the Caring for the Human Spirit® magazine to establish a clear voice for the inclusion of effective spiritual care as a standard of whole-person care and for the profession of chaplaincy. Articles guide spiritual care providers and other health care and ministry professionals who support individuals and their families, and offer insight to consumers facing these issues. Our goal is to prompt conversation, highlight a chaplain’s role as an integral part of the healthcare team, and help people obtain emotional and spiritual support throughout life, especially during illness, injury, and grief.
