Kathy Traetow doesn’t usually tell people she’s a night chaplain at Allen Hospital in Waterloo, Iowa. “Sometimes people treat me differently when they find out,” said Traetow, office coordinator for Global and Multicultural Studies. “Being a night chaplain doesn’t change who I am. It’s just something I like to do for others; it’s my way of giving back.” As a volunteer night chaplain and spiritual care provider, Traetow spends one to two evenings per month at the hospital. While there, she is on call to respond to emergencies and visit with patients in need of spiritual care. In addition, Traetow takes communion to two homebound members of Nazareth Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She has also served as an international friendship host for Wartburg international students for the past 12 years. – Karris Golden |
