Our chaplains visit hospital units regularly to meet with patients and their loved ones. We also offer regular support groups for patients and families throughout the hospital. There are different types of worship services offered throughout the week; patients and their loved ones are always welcome to attend these services.

The department offers Clinical Pastoral Education programs of all levels, seminary field education, and other training programs in pastoral care and healthcare ministry for clergy, seminarians and selected laypersons.
