How can a chaplain help?

  • Listening
  • Praying with you
  • Supporting you through difficult decisions
  • Helping you to identify and use your faith resources
  • Assisting you in coping with fear, anxiety, and grief
  • Providing Sacraments and other religious rituals

Sacraments & Church Support

Holy Communion and Anointing of the Sick are available upon request.  We encourage you to contact your own priest or minister before you go to the hospital, or when you are admitted if it is an unexpected hospitalization, so your own church may support you as well.

Our gift shop is located on the lobby level of the hospital, just inside the front entrance. Here you’ll find a variety of unique gift items, greeting cards, and a full-service florist, as well as snacks and miscellaneous toiletry items you may have forgotten.
