Spiritual and Pastoral Care

What is spiritual care?

Care of the human spirit is critical to health. It is the work of our entire care team. Chaplains, however, are specially-trained in human understanding, pastoral counseling, and religious and cultural traditions. Chaplains are available to all patients and their loved ones. We provide a listening presence, guidance in mindfulness and prayer, decision-making support, and help finding purpose and meaning.

What can I expect from a chaplain?

Our chaplains provide emotional support and gentle spiritual guidance when people are:

  • Feeling anxious, afraid or upset
  • Struggling with emotional, spiritual or religious questions or with the meaning of an illness
  • Wrestling with difficult treatment choices or ethical dilemmas
  • Observing spiritual practices or religious rites
  • Inviting their faith community leader
  • Grieving
  • Dealing with difficult news
  • Preparing mindfully for surgery
