Lecture Series

As the rate of mental illness—especially depression, anxiety, and substance abuse—continues to climb in the United States, the mental health field of medicine is in dire need of new perspectives and treatments. The Vail Health Behavioral Health Innovation Center seeks to address this mental health crisis head-on by providing fresh, scientifically-supported perspectives on mental illness and a framework for understanding a range of new evidence-based treatments. 
 
In collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison the lectures feature innovative leaders in behavioral health treatment and research.

Innovations in Health Learning Lab: The Role of Spirituality in Health

Dr. Tracy Balboni and Dr. Michael Balboni presented compelling research showing how spirituality is important in patient care and holds the promise of reinvigorating how flourishing communities care for the sick.

At Vail Health, our dedicated chaplains offer compassionate spiritual care to patients, families, and staff across all facilities, including the patient care unit, intensive care unit, and Shaw Cancer Center, as well as through spiritual care integration into the Shaw at Home program. Our interfaith approach ensures support for individuals of all beliefs. Our chaplains provide emotional comfort during challenging times, serve as a calming presence, and act as liaisons to community clergy when needed.
