As part of Spiritual Health Awareness Week 2026 and this year’s theme, “Spiritual Health Matters,” IHCAM invites you to a one-hour Lunch & Learn exploring what spiritual care is and why it matters in dementia care.

Whether spiritual care is familiar to you or you’re wondering what it actually means in health care, this session is for you. Rev. Dr. Chris Salstrom will explore how spiritual care goes beyond religion to support meaning, identity, connection, hope, and belonging—and how simple practices such as music, familiar rituals, life stories, and compassionate presence can support people living with dementia, their families and care teams.

No background in spiritual care is needed.

Bring your lunch, your questions and join the conversation.
