Spiritual Care
Being in a hospital, dealing with illness and uncertainty can be challenging. Many people find that talking with a chaplain can be helpful during this time.  Volunteer chaplains from the larger community provide support to patients, family members, friends and staff members at Speare Memorial Hospital.

Our Chaplains are available every day (and on-call as needed) to be a caring presence, offer spiritual and emotional support, and listen with openness and understanding.  Patients and families are encouraged to call a chaplain when experiencing feelings of fear, anger, loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, grief or loss, or when they just need someone to talk to.  Chaplains also are available for times of celebration, prayer and rituals.

Chaplains are available to all our patients regardless of beliefs and religious affiliation.  Patients do not need to be affiliated with a congregation or faith community to call a chaplain. However, if you do belong to a community, we can notify the clergy person of your choice.  Your minister, rabbi or other spiritual advisor are welcome to visit you or your family member at any time.

To have a visit from a chaplain contact Social Services at ext. 216 or ask your nurse to notify the Chaplain on duty.
