For the past year, Rabbi Rebecca Kamil has partnered with the CLL Society (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) to be the chaplain for their clientele. Rabbi Kamil meets up to 6 times with people facing this disease and offers spiritual and emotional support. All meetings are done via Zoom or phone as the clientele are around the country. Rabbi Kamil will demonstrate how this partnership was set up, the gaps it fills for those facing chronic illness who may not otherwise have access to a chaplain, and the ways in which telechaplaincy is benefitting this population.
Rabbi Rebecca Kamil is a board-certified chaplain with 10 years of healthcare experience, in a variety of settings including hospice, hospitals, and long-term care. She currently works at the The CLL Society Inc., a patient–centric, physician–curated nonprofit organization focused on patient education, support, and research of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.Join the Telechaplaincy Community of Practice
