Our Spiritual Care team provides spiritual support to our patients and their families during difficult times.

Hospital ministry to people of all faiths

  • Our chaplains have specialized training in hospital ministry. They are available to listen to concerns and feelings, pray with you, read scriptures and administer the Sacraments.
  • We are committed to caring for persons of all faiths. The chaplains can make arrangements to accommodate your special needs and requests for specialized ministries by calling a minister of like faith, a Catholic Priest, Jewish Rabbi, or Muslim Imam.
  • Chaplains are available to visit with your family to bring God's presence and spirit into the midst of difficult and uncertain times. We are available for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A quiet place for prayer

A chapel is located on the Lobby Level of the hospital near the Family Resource Room. There are two quiet rooms for private prayer and reflection. The Wishing Wall is a place where patients, families and friends can write down prayer requests or reflections. Our chaplains pray over the concerns at services held each Thursday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Ethics consultation

Should an ethical question arise that involves your child’s treatment, you can request a consultation with our ethics committee.
