About Keith W.
Keith Wakefield is currently the Manager for CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) Programs at UCLA Health in Los Angeles, California. An ACPE Certified Educator, he completed his ACPE Certified Educator training at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Southern Adventist University (2004) and a Master of Divinity from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University (2012). In 2023, he earned his Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods in Health Practice from the University of Bath. Prior to coming to UCLA Health, he was a CPE Educator at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and at Stanford Health Care in Palo Alto. Keith has chaplaincy experience in medical intensive care, burn, surgical-trauma, cardiology, psychiatry, oncology, and other general-medicine units. An Ordained Elder in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he’s taught classes on chaplaincy and spirituality in health at Loma Linda University and Andrews University.Also a filmmaker, Wakefield’s first film, a 2015 documentary about chaplaincy called A Certain Kind of Light, was directed by Brandon Vedder (Strange Negotiations, La Source, Pearl Jam: Live at the Garden), and earned nominations and awards at several film festivals. His most recent film, G-Ride, focuses on the story of Mike “G-Ride” Griffith. After surviving homelessness, addiction, and isolation, Griffith found his passion and purpose as a pedicab driver and became a beloved community staple in Chico, California. Released in 2019, the film received awards at the Chico Independent Film Festival and the Front Range Film Festival in Colorado. In his spare time, Keith can be found passed out at home, because he’s just too old to be chasing a rambunctious five-year-old boy around.
