Christine Abdullah, MDiv, provides spiritual and emotional support for oncology patients and their caregivers at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown. After completing a two-year fellowship with Emory, she became a certified registered staff chaplain, continuing her commitment to compassionate care for patients, families and staff.
Christine carries with her the motto of her beloved brother: “When you know better, you do better.” That philosophy continues to shape how she serves others as a chaplain, peer support leader, Wellness Champion Ambassador, Safety First Aid Ambassador and certified CBCT instructor.
A native of Atlanta, Christine earned a Bachelor of Science in biblical and theological studies and a Master of Divinity in professional health care chaplaincy from Liberty University. She is endorsed by Liberty Baptist Fellowship Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, and is an ordained minister in her local church community.
Christine completed her chaplaincy internship and residency at Northside Hospital Gwinnett, where her experiences strengthened her appreciation for chaplaincy and trauma-informed care.
Before her work in chaplaincy, Christine served as a caregiver in the home health care industry, supporting patients and families through end-of-life transitions. She also drew on her experience as a licensed neuromuscular massage therapist to take a holistic approach to caring for patients and their families.
