Our compassionate chaplains respect each person’s beliefs and listen without judgment. Our chaplains provide sacraments and connections to your own religious community and support groups. They also make regular rounds in the hospital and in the Emergency Department. When faced with some of life’s most difficult decisions, our chaplains are available for ethical consultations.
