After completing 30 years of medical practice as a hematologist and oncologist, Dr./Chaplain Jason began an exploration of the field of Spiritual Care. This led him to train and work as a hospital chaplain. Jason’s unique life experience as both a spiritual care provider and physician enables him to teach physicians, chaplains, and patient advocacy groups about the healing power of relationships and the intimate powerful connection between spirituality and medicine.

Jason focuses his work on helping others find their connection to the sources of deepest meaning in their lives. His hope is that the time spent with those in his care will remove any obstacles that prevent people from finding their unique spiritual and life journey.
