During your stay, if you need support in the form of a listening ear, a hand held, an inspirational quote or prayer, our spiritual care team is ready to meet your needs.

The hospital chapel is also available 24 hours a day / seven days a week for our patients & visitors located near the Admissions Office with a prayer journal available to write prayer requests if desired.

When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.
