On-Site Conveniences
Many of the conveniences provided for patients and families are also available for employees. When employees are short on time or don’t want to drive elsewhere, they can take care of many of their needs without ever leaving the hospital.

Pastoral Care
The Office of Pastoral Care is committed to providing compassionate spiritual and emotional support to patients, family members, friends, and employees. As members of an interdisciplinary team of care givers, Chaplains help ensure provision of care that respects the cultural values and spiritual traditions of each patient. We believe that “well being” includes spiritual as well as physical and emotional health.
Chaplains in the Office of Pastoral Care believe that spirituality reflects a bond we all share as we search for meaning and value in our lives, and we offer spiritual care to people of all faith perspectives and traditions.
