Student internships and volunteer
chaplaincy
Our chaplaincy student internship and
volunteer program provides participants education and clinical
experience in a hospital setting. These two programs are open to
self-directed college students and seminary/divinity school

case studies involving loss and grief, ethical problems and spiritual
issues faced in counseling roles. After you've enrolled
in this program, you will gain real-life experience while integrating
health-crisis support into your spiritual foundation.

Congregation health ministries and
promoters
The congregational health ministries at
Rowan Medical Center is the holistic care of mind, body
and spirit provided by religious leaders to faith community members.
This gives churches the opportunity to present their congregation
with health-related and educational resources.
The congregational health promoter
works with leaders in the faith community to help identify specific
needs of their congregation. They will use their expertise and
resources to promote healthy living to their congregation. We also
provide a training session that teaches participants how to start a
health ministry, survey a congregation to determine health needs and
develop a health committee.
