Pediatric Spiritual Care

Being in the hospital can be scary for children and their families. Our Pediatric Chaplains, as well as our other staff chaplains and Spiritual Care volunteers, are here to offer you spiritual and emotional support. You can ask a nurse to call us, or you can call us directly at extension 4–5183.

What is Spiritual Care?

Spiritual Care is a special kind of care that connects to you as a whole person – mind, body and soul. Your spirituality is about who you are, what is important to you and what you believe as a person. Spirituality can mean you are involved in a faith tradition, but not always.
