“A must-see for anyone who cares about healthcare.” – San Francisco Chronicle The Chaplain & The Doctor is a documentary that follows the unlikely partnership between Betty Clark, an 80-year-old African American chaplain, and Jessica Zitter, a white Jewish physician, at The Wilma Chan Highland Hospital Campus in Oakland, California. Through their shared values and history, they overcome the barriers and biases that often separate chaplains and doctors, and work together to provide the best care for their patients. As Betty faces her own health challenges, Jessica takes over her care, gaining a deeper understanding of the experience of patients of color in America’s hospitals.
