Who is a Caritas Coach\u00ae?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”slideInRight” width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column_inner el_class=”boxed”][vc_column_text css=””]A Caritas Coach is a role in health care, primarily in nursing, focused on integrating Caring Science into professional practice. This role involves a deep understanding of human caring, transpersonal care, reflective practice, and caring literacy. Caritas Coaches are trained through the Kaiser Permanente CCEP, which offers a curriculum fostering self-awareness, self-exploration, and Caritas consciousness.<\/p>\n

The value of a Caritas Coach in a medical center is significant. These coaches, as graduates of the Kaiser Permanente CCEP, return to their facilities equipped with the skills and knowledge to transform health care delivery. They are prepared to transfer this knowledge to other health care professionals, contributing to a transformation in care that emphasizes meaning, purpose, dignity, and wholeness. This transformation is not just limited to patient care but extends to the personal and professional lives of health care providers as well.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”top” column_spacing=”60″ el_class=”bg-mid-blue bg-deep-blue” css=”.vc_custom_1704745261467{padding-top: 60px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”slideInLeft” width=”1\/3″ el_class=”bg-dark”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”bg-dark”]\n
