Pastoral and Spiritual Care

Addressing Your Spiritual Needs During Your Stay

We meet the spiritual and emotional needs of patients, family members and staff in difficult times.

A serious medical diagnosis often evokes a range of feelings and raises questions about meaning, purpose and faith.

Professional chaplains are spiritual specialists who are part of the health care team. Our clinical chaplains are trained to help meet the spiritual, emotional, and religious needs of patients, family members and staff unique to the healthcare environment.

We are available to help meet the needs of patients, family members and staff of all faiths, as well as those who are spiritual but not religious. Our chaplains provide a confidential, safe space to share concerns, thoughts, and feelings and support patients and their loved ones on their health care journey.
