The Center for Spiritual and Grief Support at a Glance:An illness or hospital stay may be one of the hardest things a person ever goes through. A loved one’s illness affects the whole family. We understand that spiritual life is important to many people in times like this. Some people find comfort in religious practices like prayer. Others gain strength from things like music, art, stories, or nature. Some need a good listener to talk with about their worries, beliefs, or doubts.
Our Spiritual Care Providers (also known as Chaplains) are here to help. We are members of the healthcare team. Our focus is on the wellbeing of the patient’s and family’s spirit. We work with people of all religions and beliefs, and strive to understand what gives each person meaning and purpose. Our goal is to connect patients and families with the things that bring them courage and hope in tough times.
