Our mission is to provide compassionate and effective spiritual care and a supportive presence to our patients, their families, and staff twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
What we do
As chaplains, we spend time providing compassionate and holistic care holding hands and talking about what is essential to a person or persons. We help them find meaning and acceptance amid suffering, pain, grief, death, and dying, drawing understandings and connections from their spiritual, religious, and value systems. We help others discuss their fears, anger, anxiety, hopes, and joys.
