Across hospitals, classrooms, and parish settings, Roger Haenke's work reflects a sustained commitment to learning, guidance, and the development of others over time.

Roger Haenke's early work in ordained ministry required teaching in many forms. Preaching, faith formation, pastoral counseling, and community education shaped parish life. These responsibilities demanded preparation, clarity, and the ability to meet people at different stages of understanding. For Roger Haenke, education involved helping individuals reflect, grow, and navigate change through shared learning.

His responsibilities included staff development, competency assessment, and support for clinical education across healthcare settings.
