Spiritual care
Our spiritual and pastoral care staff is dedicated to creating a caring environment that
acknowledges and respects the importance of each person's spirituality and its
potential for promoting health and wholeness of body, mind, and spirit.
- Chaplains serve patients and families from all faith traditions, as well
as those who are skeptical, searching, or just want to talk.
- Chaplains help patients and families draw on their own religious/spiritual
strengths as they face the issues raised by a child's illness. They support in
difficult times, rejoice in times of good news and healing, pray or listen if
patients and families need a willing ear.
