Spiritual Support
Spiritual Support
Patients, families, staff, community – and really, everyone can benefit from pastoral care. Garnet Health recognizes the role and impact of spiritual care in the treatment of illness and support of overall health. Our staff chaplains and dedicated local clergy members are available to respond to the spiritual needs of our patients, their families and staff members. Our pastoral care staff offers a diverse approach to ensuring the respect and dignity of all religious and spiritual traditions, meeting individuals where they are spiritually and emotionally.
Who provides pastoral care
Garnet Health Medical Center’s Pastoral Care Program is staffed by certified and experienced hospital chaplains. In addition, local clergy members and volunteers assist our chaplains with visitations and religious services throughout the week. Garnet Health Medical Center welcomes community clergy to visit their congregation members, and our staff connects patients with their religious representatives when requested.
