Brown chaplain to serve on Hospice board

Brown University’s chaplain has been elected to the board of trustees of Home and Hospice Care of Rhode Island.

The Rev. Janet Cooper Nelson, who is also a faculty member at Brown, has been at the university since 1990.

“I welcome this opportunity to be intimately involved in an organization so clearly and strongly committed to helping people approach the end of their lives with dignity,” she said in a press release, “and to meeting their special needs, whether for medical care, freedom from pain and worry or spiritual well-being.”

Cooper Nelson is a past president of the Association for College and University Religious Affairs, and currently serves on several committees and boards, including at Harvard Divinity School, Women and Infants Hospital, AIDS Project Rhode Island, and the United Church of Christ.

“All of us at Home and Hospice Care of Rhode Island are extremely pleased that Rev. Nelson has joined our board,” the organization’s president and CEO said in a press release.
