The Chaplain's Role

When faced with times of illness, crisis or stress, people often draw closer to their spiritual side. A chaplain has a sacred opportunity to minister to people during these times. With this responsibility, we endeavor to:

• Respect the dignity and privacy of the patient, family and staff.
• Be caring listeners who have been trained to help with the special needs of a hospital patient, family member or staff.
• Work with the healthcare team so that the spiritual needs, as well as medical needs are addressed.
