Disaster team ready with spiritual care

Ottawa Hospital’s ESCAT (Emergency Spiritual Care Assistance Team) is the first of its kind in North America and provides spiritual support for those in need after a disaster strikes. ESCAT has been activated three times, the most recent in 2014 when a Canadian soldier was killed at the War Memorial. Fr. Nicolas El-Kada, leads the team.

OTTAWA - Whether it’s a train crash, a building collapse or a pandemic, the Ottawa Hospital is ready to provide spiritual help through a team of volunteers for those affected.
