Chaplain J.S. Park has a powerful voice - raw, transparent, and real. He’s using it to influence how people care for people at the end of life. J.S. will tell you he’s heard all the regrets in his work with the dying. As a hospital chaplain in a Trauma 1 center, J.S. provides grief counseling, attends every death, helps with end-of-life decision-making, and advocates for patients and families in crisis.

He’s also worked as a chaplain for the homeless, including trauma-informed care, grief support, church wound recovery, faith-based programs for low-income families, and staff care for coworkers. J.S.’s IG account has over 102K followers, and his content is powerful. Remembering our own humanity makes us better providers of health care for other humans. 

With an open heart and authentic communication, J.S. Park is holding space for respect and compassion. He’s leading with his heart. His voice is needed.
