\"\"<\/a>The 2017 Medical-Spirituality Conference, \u201cPediatric Health and Healing: Exploring the Spiritual and Emotional Needs of Our Young Patients,\u201d will be held Thursday, April 27, 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., at the Sinclair Conference Center, 301 W. Fourth Street in Dayton.<\/p>\n

The conference is for practicing physicians and others in the medical and religious community.<\/p>\n

The keynote presenters are the Rev. Cheryl V. Minor and Chaplain Ryan Campbell.<\/p>\n

Minor is the director of the Center for the Theology of Childhood, the academic and publishing arm of the Godly Play Foundation. For the past 19 years, she has served a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, the Parish of All Saints\u2019 Church in Belmont. Minor is also a Godly Play trainer and has been deeply involved in designing the Godly Play Foundation\u2019s training models.<\/p>\n

Campbell is a Roman Catholic ecclesial lay minister. He is on staff at Children\u2019s Medical Center Dallas as program manager for the Center for the Spirituality of Children.

The event will support the Healer\u2019s Art Fund at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.<\/a> The Healer\u2019s Art Fund was created to help address an emerging crisis in health care: the growing loss of meaning and commitment experienced by physicians nationwide under the stresses of today\u2019s health care system. Through the Healer\u2019s Art Fund, the Boonshoft School of Medicine helps both students and practicing physicians develop the capacity to find lifelong meaning in the medical profession. The medical school educates tomorrow\u2019s physicians through its Healer\u2019s Art Course<\/a> and sustains today\u2019s physicians through its annual Medical-Spirituality Conference.<\/p>\n

If participants register by March 27, the conference cost is $150 for physicians; $75 for nurses, counselors, social workers and other health professions; $75 for general participants; $65 for seniors; $35 for students; $35 for residents; and free for Boonshoft School of Medicine students.<\/p>\n
