SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

FOR HEALING AND COMFORT

Doctors in the Stroke Lab.

At Southeast Health, we care for the whole person. Spiritual Care services support the religious and spiritual needs of patients, families and loved ones, and team members. Care is available to everyone, across all faith traditions and for those who do not identify with a specific religion.

Chaplains support individuals experiencing sadness, loneliness, stress, or anxiety; assist with difficult decisions and communication challenges; and provide comfort during times of uncertainty. Cultural needs and spiritual practices such as prayer, communion, anointing, and other observances are available upon request.

Clinically Trained Chaplains

Our chaplains are clinically trained professionals who serve people of all beliefs with professionalism and sensitivity. They are board certified through the Association of Professional Chaplains, reflecting advanced education, extensive clinical training, and endorsement by a recognized religious community. Through compassionate presence and experience, they offer meaningful support when it matters most.

Supported by Our Faith Community

Recognized leaders and members of local religious communities support patients and families through the Spiritual Care Clergy Volunteer Program. The program welcomes ministers and laypersons from all faith traditions who are called to provide culturally respectful spiritual support in a hospital setting.

Clergy volunteers are available for requested patient visits and may also support families and visitors in the Emergency Department. All volunteers receive orientation and appropriate training before serving.

A Space for Prayer and Reflection

The Sanctuary is a quiet chapel located on the first floor of the main hospital. Open to all people, of every faith or belief, it offers a peaceful place for reflection, prayer, meditation, or simply a moment of stillness. Patients, families, visitors, and team members are welcome to spend time in the Sanctuary whenever they seek comfort, calm, or renewal.
