Pastoral Care
At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway
About Us
The Pastoral Care Department provides spiritual and emotional care to people of all faiths or no faith traditions.
A clinically trained chaplain is available 24/7/365 for emotional and spiritual care.
A clinically trained chaplain is a Religiously Affiliated (ordained) who has theological training and experience in a Health care setting.
Our Chaplain focuses on patients’ and their families’ own spiritual and religious resources, offering a comforting presence and a listening ear. An on-site chaplain is available for:
- Spiritual and emotional care
- Prayer/Blessings
- Conversations about your spiritual needs
- Various holiday services
