A spiritual journey: Hospice of the Valley chaplains support patients at end of life
Lovin' Life; by Laura Latzko; 10/5/25
As a chaplain, serving patients in hospice can be emotionally and mentally-taxing work. Hospice of the Valley chaplains such as David Kaminski and Leandro Luna do it because they love their work. Kaminski has been working with Hospice of the Valley since 1998. He was inspired to become a hospice chaplain after doing a residency in Chicago at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in a wing with 52 intensive beds. He has been in hospice for the last 32 years. He has also worked for Hospice of the Great Lakes in the Chicago area.
