We serve patients by addressing their spiritual, emotional, and existential needs.

Chaplains offer guidance, comfort, and encouragement, helping patients navigate difficult medical decisions, coping with illness, and finding meaning in their experiences. Chaplains may be called upon by patients when learning of a life-changing diagnosis or prognosis, when experiencing acute trauma or sudden decline in health, or when nearing end-of-life. Wherever patients are in their spiritual and health journeys, chaplains can facilitate discussions about spirituality, faith, beliefs, and values.

We serve family members as they navigate the experience of a loved one’s health challenges or loss.

Chaplains offer a compassionate presence, spiritual and emotional comfort, and guidance when making difficult decisions. Chaplains can facilitate conversations about faith, meaning, and coping strategies, helping family members find strength and resilience. They also provide a supportive presence during times of grief , offering solace and rituals that honor the deceased.

We serve healthcare professionals by helping them process the spiritual and emotional challenges they face in the course of their work serving others.

Chaplains provide a confidential listening ear and a safe outlet for healthcare team members to reflect on the fears, doubts, ethical ambiguity, and grief that comes from caring for patients. By addressing the spiritual and emotional needs of healthcare professionals, chaplains contribute to improved wellbeing and resilience in the face of burnout and compassion fatigue.

We serve healthcare provider organizations by expanding and augmenting their spiritual care programs, enabling them to better deliver spiritual care services to the patients and family members they serve and the healthcare professionals they employ.
