Chaplaincy Program:

Pastoral Services at the hospital directs and enhances the spiritual care of patients, families and hospital staff. The mission is based on the Judeo-Christian faith and is designed to promote the healing process as part of a united effort with other professionals in the health care field.

Pastoral Services is part of our Volunteer Program and offers to patients, families and hospital staff:
    • Pastoral care
    • Worship and sacraments
    • Notification of their congregation at patient’s request
    • Religious literature, Bibles and devotional guides
    • Assistance with living wills and durable power of attorney (work with Social Services)
    • End-of-life decision-making

The chaplains are ministers or lay ministers who are qualified through our chaplaincy training program to offer spiritual care to all people in the Hospital. Their sensitivity to individual beliefs and knowledge of different religious practices enable these chaplains to meet people at the point of their need.

A chaplain is assigned a rotation to make visits on a daily basis. A chaplain is on call 24 hours a day. A hospital representative can assist you in reaching a chaplain at any time.

Chaplains address spiritual concerns and will accommodate your religious preferences; and:
    • Comforts, counsels, cares
    • Helps, hopes, honors
    • Assists, acknowledges, advocates   
    • Prays, praises, pastors
    • Listens, laments, laughs
    • Accepts, acts, advises
    • Invites, interprets, instructs
    • Notices needs, nurtures
    • Service to all
