Pastoral Care
Spirituality and faith are a vital component of the healing and recovery process. A truly healthy person is healthy in body, mind and spirit. At Allegiance Health, dedicated and professionally trained chaplains provide pastoral care to patients, their families and staff dealing with difficult and stressful situations. Our team of chaplains is available to help you 24 hours a day.

- Spiritual and emotional concerns
- Issues of fear, anger, guilt or despair
- Grief and loss issues
- Ethical issues and important end-of-life decisions
- Tissue and organ donation
- Funeral home arrangements
- Crisis counseling
- Coping with illness or diagnosis
- Sacraments, prayer and scripture
- Connecting to community clergy
The chapel
A beautiful, interfaith chapel is located on the third floor of the hospital, just outside the Family Waiting Room and the Critical Care Unit. The chapel is always open and available for persons of all faiths to use for prayer, meditation or time away. Families of loved ones are encouraged to use the chapel during times of crisis and need.
