Callaway District Hospital’s Senior Life Solutions hosted a breakfast on Oct. 23 for our local pastors and their staff of all faiths and denominations to recognize the importance of their hard work and dedication. Pastors or parishioners from eight different area churches Callaway, Arnold, and Broken Bow were in attendance.

“Our goal is to partner with our community resources to promote mental health. October 19 - 25 was National Pastoral Care Week, also known as Spiritual Care Week,” explained Kelly Herbig, RN/Program Director. “This is an opportunity to celebrate and honor the contributions of chaplains, pastors, and spiritual caregivers who provide an essential and important service to our community.”

Poem for the breakfast: You pour so much into others…Prayers, messages, comfort, strength.

And we hope you know: You are more than the work. You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone. God is using you, even in the quiet, weary moments. And the seeds you’ve planted? They’re still growing, even when you can’t see them yet.
