Hospital chaplains are available to provide spiritual and emotional support to all patients or their families, regardless of their faith or religious tradition, 24 hours a day. Your nurse can contact a chaplain at your request, or you can dial 0 for the operator and request the chaplain on call.
We welcome your own priest, minister or rabbi to visit you while you are here; however, because of the privacy practices outlined in the Healthcare Information Portability and Accessibility Act of 1996, we will not automatically notify your church that you are hospitalized. If you choose to be a “No Information” patient, meaning that your name and room number are not listed in the hospital directory, you must make sure your church or synagogue has your room number.
Bibles are available in English and Spanish. Please ask your nurse.
