It began in 1975 under the efforts of Pastor Henry J. Kleindienst, who became the organization’s first chaplain. He served for 16 years until his death in 1991. Local pastors filled the vacancy until Pastor George Rattelmuller was hired in January of 1993, who then became the hospital chaplain for the next 13 years. In March of 2006, Pastor Richard Ingmire became the next chaplain and is currently in his 9th year. This means that since 1975, MMLHM has only had 3 chaplains, who during this 40 year span have visited over 115,000 hospitalized Lutheran patients! We are blessed to be able to represent the hands and feet of Christ to those who are experiencing a time of need in our Columbia hospitals.
