Pastoral Care

Care & Counseling When You Need it Most

Services are offered for special occasions, such as weddings, memorial services, adoption and blessing ceremonies, and national observances. Communion and other religious observances may be requested through the chaplain’s office.

Pastoral Care supports healing environment programs that help soothe and care for patients such as newborn blessings and inspirational literature.

To speak to a chaplain, please contact your nurse or dial 469.487.3901.
