Spiritual Care

Patients and family members often experience times of anxiety and stress during a hospital stay. During these times, a chaplain can provide friendship and support, listen to concerns and offer comfort. The Chaplain may provide bedside visitation for patients, follow-up pastoral care, and counseling as deemed appropriate by those they serve. Anyone who is a patient or family member in search of spiritual support is encouraged to seek the Chaplain's help.

Our Beliefs

It is not the chaplain's role to bring his/her values and beliefs to those they serve or replace a patient's clergy or other sources of support. Instead, the chaplain meet patients, family, and colleagues to provide support appropriate to the circumstances of each encounter based on each individual’s journey. A chaplain may also assist those with specific desires to locate the appropriate resources to meet individual needs. Eucharist is regularly provided for patients of the Catholic faith by Eucharistic Ministers from two local parishes.
