Provide emotional and spiritual support to our patients and families.
We offer spiritual and religious support to patients and families as part of our mission to provide the highest quality of health care, which includes holistic support. We provide a multi-faith/cultural care environment, where patients can explore the meaning of their illness and have people from both their faith and culture to journey with them. Our spiritual care volunteers assist with the emotional and spiritual support that our patients and families require.
