Wholeness in Healing
We are a Catholic, regional hospital whose mission is to improve the health and quality of life for the people we serve in a manner that reflects the healing mission of Jesus. Spiritual and emotional support is available to you when you are:

  • experiencing an emergency or stressful time.
  • facing a difficult decision.
  • needing a friend to listen to a personal problem.
  • anticipating surgery.
  • coping with long-term illness.
  • feeling abandoned.
  • experiencing the birth of a new child.
  • dealing with loss or grief.

Our Staff
Our staff consists of Catholic priests, Protestant pastors, Catholic sisters, and lay chaplains who visit patients and respond to referrals from patients, nurses, physicians and other staff.

The approach of the chaplaincy staff is ecumenical. We respect the beliefs and traditions of all we serve. We endeavor to work in collaboration with area faith leaders in order to meet the spiritual needs of each person.

We are available to listen, to reflect, and to offer prayer and support as part of the healing process for our patients and their families. A Catholic priest is available to administer the Sacrament of the Sick and Reconciliation.  A Protestant pastor also is available.

Spiritual Care volunteers are assigned throughout the hospital to visit patients, and offer spiritual support, prayer, and Holy Communion daily to patients and family members.

Worship Opportunities
All are welcome to the hospital chapel, located on the first floor between C and D entrances. The chapel remains open at all times. Anyone wishing to pray privately is welcome to do so.

Communion
Catholic patients: Holy Communion is distributed daily.
Protestant patients: Holy Communion is brought to patients by a Protestant Chaplain upon request.

If you would like a visit from a chaplain, priest, pastor or your faith leader, please ask your nurse to contact the Spiritual Care department or dial “0” for assistance.

"Above all things, care must be taken of the sick as if they were Christ in person."
- Rule of St. Benedict, Ch. 36
