Pastoral Care

When facing health care challenges and needs many people turn to a belief in God or a higher power. We are here to support patients’ spiritual needs as they connect with those relationships and resources which provide them with spiritual strength. We are committed to being a place where all may experience the healing presence of God. Some reasons patients, families and staff contact a chaplain: 

• When seeking inner strength
• When experiencing a transition
• When talking to another person might help
• When seeking prayer or a prayer partner  
• When wanting to share a faith experience 
• When exploring ethical issues
• When feeling anxious or upset
• When frightened or lonely
• When frustrated or confused
• When grieving a loss
• When wanting to reflect on your thankfulness
• When exploring forgiveness
• When seeking connections with a faith community
• When desiring communion or another sacrament
