The Spiritual Care and Chaplaincy Team
Providing spiritual care in the fast-paced environment of a major medical center requires a team effort. At Johns Hopkins Hospital as well as Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center the Chaplains on our Leadership Team work in concert with the Adjunct Chaplains, CPE Resident Chaplains, Intern Chaplains and On Call Chaplains to provide 24/7 care for patients, visitors and staff. Our staff members also make significant contributions within their faith communities and communities.

Miller is ordained by the United Church of Christ. She is a published author with a handful of inspirational books and articles. She continues focused work and study in the field of complementary modalities. She is also interested in neuroaesthetics and trauma care. Rev.
