Jacqueline Kipfer

I had the privilege of working with Rev. Lauren for almost 10 years at Harbor Light hospice. I think Rev. Lauren is one of the best in her field. She not only knows scripture well, but she is very in tune to individuals' needs on both an emotional and spiritual level. She gives of herself completely but not in a way that sacrifices professional boundaries. She has a kind heart, a great sense of humor, and an infectious laugh. She has dedicated her life to serving others.

Rev. Lauren tirelessly works to honor patients' and families' rights and perspectives to bring comfort and meaning to their lives.
