An illness or hospital stay may be one of the hardest things a person ever goes through. A loved one’s illness affects the whole family. We understand that spiritual life is important to many people in times like this. Some people find comfort in religious practices like prayer. Others gain strength from music, art, stories, or nature. Some need a good listener to talk about worries, beliefs, or doubts.

Our Spiritual Care Providers (also known as Chaplains) are part of the healthcare team. Our focus is on the wellbeing of patients and families’ spirit. We work with people of all religions and beliefs, striving to understand what gives each person meaning and purpose. Our goal is to connect patients and families with the things that bring courage and hope in tough times.

Provide spiritual care to patients/families & clinical staff, advocate for patients/families, and educate the healthcare team about the impact of religious/spiritual beliefs on coping and medical decision‑making, mostly but not limited to residential and inpatient psychiatry.
