We strive to meet patients where they are, aid in the process of healing through human conversation, offer guidance and a calming presence, and assure people that they are not alone in their journey.
 

The Spiritual Care staff is available to support your or your family’s emotional and spiritual needs:

• When you or other family members are facing or recovering from surgery
• When you are discouraged or feel life has lost its meaning
• When you are suffering a loss or experiencing a major adjustment
