Spiritual Care Services is dedicated to the healing journey of each person, honoring individual differences in cultural, spiritual, and faith backgrounds. Our function as members of the interdisciplinary care team is to assess, resource, and support healing and resilience. We also offer supportive interventions in times of worry or distress, including a caring presence, reflective listening, prayer, or meditation. For additional in-hospital religion-specific support, our professional chaplains partner with spiritual care specialists of many religious traditions. When possible, Spiritual Care Services facilitates connections of families with leaders from their own religious communities. As health care chaplains, we listen with openness and respect to support the human spirit during this time of hospitalization.
Availability may vary; we attempt to honor every request as best we can.
To promote a calm healing environment, we offer spaces for prayer, reflection, contemplation, and meditation during visits and stays in the hospital. The Sanctuary is open to patients, families, and staff of every background, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The outdoor Healing Garden and Labyrinth provide outside space for quiet reflection and meditative walking.
