Overview
Pastoral Care offers help for people trying to connect meaning with life circumstances that don't often make sense or seem fair. Pastoral Care chaplains are trained to help bring together the physical, emotional and spiritual components that are necessary for an individual to experience healing, health and hope.
Spiritual care services are available to patients, family members, hospital employees and medical staff members 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additional support includes patient and family visitation, and decedent care and memorial services.
