In a world where we’re constantly flooded with much more than we can handle, may we not forget to seek something to lean on for strength and hope.

In this episode, let’s listen to the different stories of healing through spiritual and mental support with Eithne Keegan - a Faith Community Nurse serving as an RN Advocate for the Hoag Faith Community Nursing Program.
