Rev. Arlen Solem, Chaplain

Arlen-Solem-JMP_1141-lo-web.jpg

I graduated seminary from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and completed a chaplaincy residency with Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee. I began my career with Cassia at the Augustana Health Care Center in Minneapolis in 2016. I love the work I do more than I could have imagined. Leading worship services and interacting with our residents has been incredibly fulfilling and life-giving. In spite of the fact that the worship services have a pattern that changes little, each service is unique and often filled with unanticipated moments when God’s blessings are felt so strongly. I am honored to get to know so many people in the latter stages of their lives. I consider many of the people we serve my friends even if sometimes they don’t quite know who I am.

Quotes

I will never forget the time we returned our mother to Emerald Crest after a day of shopping. My mother wanted to stay out longer but just couldn't. We all felt sad taking her back. When we entered,  immediately two nurse's assistants enveloped my mom in a huge hug. Her face immediately had a smile and off she was to stay and talk to these beautiful assistants. My mother truly feels the wonderful love of these dedicated workers.

— Theresa, daughter of resident
