It’s important to respect the unique spiritual and cultural orientation of each patient and family member. We want to help you and your family receive the type of spiritual and emotional support you feel is needed during your hospitalization. Our pastoral staff, board certified chaplain, students-in-training, and trained volunteers, working from a multi-faith approach, are available to meet with you and/or help you find the support you desire.
You can contact our spiritual care staff directly by calling [904.627.2470][2] or by asking your nurse. An On-Call Chaplain is available 24 hours daily for emergency Spiritual Care needs and can be reached by contacting your nurse.
