Community Clergy Request

When you or your child are in the hospital it is important to us that you are able to experience the support of your own faith community. Clergy are welcome to visit by invitation of the family when a loved one is in the hospital. Please follow the same guidelines as for any other visitor. Our staff chaplains are available to assist them with resources or any special needs during their visit with you. Please have your nurse page the unit chaplain or the chaplain on call.

If you need assistance with contacting community clergy from your own faith group please ask your nurse to page the chaplain on call.
