My heroes! The career health care employees serving in health care jobs!

People with a passion for health care jobs

In my career health care seemingly needs to find more purpose drive people with a passion for health care jobs.

From my perspective as a health care chaplain, health care job opportunities are increasing. The problem is that not enough are seeking jobs in health care. See the many health care job opportunities by clicking on Health Care Career Exploration.

I have great respect for these career health care employees. OK, so I'm biased! You see, I too am someone whose career health care has provided a job.

My health care employment is as a health care chaplain. My bias? I have new heroes I admire greatly.

Who are my new heroes? Medical professionals in jobs health care facilities provide!

Purpose driven health care providers

Of course, the greatest respect is for my fellow employees at LightBridge Hospice, who just as I have done, have discovered a purposeful career in health care, thus being purpose driven health care providers.

The health care jobs provided by Hospice organizations like ours provides health care job opportunities to literally thousands throughout not only the US, but the world.

Our jobs in health care provide us Careers With Purpose, and we are surrounded by others who have dedicated themselves to that same purpose, caring for those at the end of life.

Now you would think that those of us who work with the elderly, the sickest of the sick, would be depressed and disheartened because of our careers in health care for these who are so close to death and dying. But such is not the case.

For example, the workers at Care With Dignity Convalescent Hospital, located at 8060 Frost Street in San Diego, California, are a joy to be around.

What I first noticed at Care with Digity was a great attitude in the staff. I have learned since that some of those health care workers have been there for over 20 years!

Who are these unsung heroes?

--People for whom career health care has given purpose!

--Medical caregivers whose service in health care jobs is often taken for granted!

--Your friends and mine in health care careers, our family members who responded to health care job opportunities, leading them to serve us when we need them most!

My niche as a health care chaplain

In my particular niche as a health care chaplain -- hospice chaplaincy to be specific -- I work closely with these whose jobs in health care bring me into their healthcare world. To me they are unsung heroes, doing work that is so necessary for life and health.

In my role as hospice chaplain and spiritual care provider, as I visit patients in hospitals, assisted living facilities, and homes, I praise God for the privilege of working with these special compassionate caregivers who have chosen a career in health care.
