Chaplains host a Blessing of the Hands ceremony every year during National Hospital
Week celebrations.
The Blessing of the Hands is a cherished health care tradition practiced

a meaningful experience for physicians, nurses and all CCH staff. The
nondenominational ceremony is open to anyone, religious or not, no matter

for the healing of our patients.
CCH Chaplain Donny Edwards and Associate Chaplain Gayle Grimsbo performed

Hospice and Home Health on May 10, shown here with nurses Kat Tuning (left) and Amanda Walter, (right).
