Berlin, Vt – Montpelier resident Priscilla Minkin recently joined Central Vermont Medical Center as Spiritual Care Counselor and a member of the Palliative Care Team. She joins Palliative Care Team Leader Joanna Goulding, M.D. and Angela Demasi, RN, CHPN.
Priscilla most recently worked in a similar position at Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice.
She received her B.A. and her M.Ed. from Clemson University in South Carolina. She also received an MA in Theology from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Priscilla started her study of clinical Pastoral Education at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, N.H. in 2007.
