Aaron Metcalf
Aaron Metcalf is a board certified chaplain in a Trauma 1 hospital nestled in North Portland, Oregon. Aaron finds joy and meaning in his work as a chaplain as he gets to meet people where they are on, “life’s terms” and explore coping through grief and tragedy with patients and families. Aaron also has a passion for working alongside other healthcare workers as they join in the task of helping people who are often in the worst moments of their lives, and appreciates the myriads of ways healthcare workers take care of themselves. He has taught courses on “Moral Resiliency”, led discussions on wellbeing in healthcare, and guided individuals to develop meaningful and effective coping strategies. Aaron is married to a nurse, Chelan, and is the proud father of two near adult children (Ella and Miles). He enjoys hiking, camping, fly-fishing, gardening, reading, restoring old typewriters for poetry, running, and other hobbies. No really, Aaron is fine (sometimes).
