The chaplains and chaplain assistants are available for visiting, counseling, and comforting patients and their families. Respect for all religious traditions is at the center of our care. Our purpose for being here is to help create a healing atmosphere for you and your family.
Sacraments of Baptism, Communion, Reconciliation, and the Sacrament of the Sick are available upon request. If you have a spiritual need that is not addressed in this pamphlet, feel free to talk with any of our chaplains about it.
We are here for you!
