Support for patient families

Whether your visit is planned or unexpected, spending time in the hospital requires patience and preparation. We offer spiritual support for families, including visits with spiritual care chaplains and chapel services.

During illness and hospitalization, the human spirit often needs special attention. Our board-certified chaplains give comfort and counseling to patients and family members of all faiths, as well as people who aren't religious. Sometimes patients may simply want to talk with someone who can ease their worries.

We also offer hand massage, aromatherapy and other techniques to promote relaxation. Speak with any member of your health care team to request a spiritual care chaplain or call us for more information.

We also offer Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) to provide spiritual and clinical education that equips students to become deeply and uniquely effective in their ministry.
