Pastoral Care

Q: I don't belong to an organized religion. Can I still call pastoral care?

A: Yes! Our chaplains are trained to help you, whether you believe in God, Jesus, Allah or Buddha, or have no connection to a religion or church. Our role is to help you through difficult situations. We don’t always understand why things happen, but we can help you cope with the situation you’re in. You are not alone. Our chaplains are specially trained and experienced in providing healing services to all people, regardless of religion or creed, and to help you understand that you are loved. - Barbara Rutt, R.N., M.Div., Pastoral Care Manager

What You Need to Know About Your or Your Loved One's Visit

Our Patient and Visitor Guide answers many of your questions including what to pack, important phone numbers and making your health care wishes known to your doctors.

You and Your Faith Community

In respect of your privacy, we will only contact your faith community with your permission. Volunteers will visit you when you’re a patient and explain the availability of our chaplains to you. If you would like to be listed as a member of a congregation, please let us know and we will contact your faith leader.
