Pastoral Care

A mission of Health and Healing – Mind, Body & Spirit

A hospital stay can be a very frightening, anxious and lonely time, not only for loved ones, but family and friends as well. Florida Hospital knows that your spiritual care is also an important part of the healing process.

That’s why members of the Department of Pastoral Care are available to you and your loved ones during your time in the hospital.

Why Call a Chaplain?

Chaplains are healthcare professionals who bring all the resources of spiritual and pastoral care to help you cope with what is going on in your life. Maybe you are seeking a prayer, a ritual, a sacrament, or connection to your own religious community.

We can provide assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Just ask your nurse for assistance or call the hospital operator and ask for the chaplain on call.

You or your family member/friend can also request a visit from a chaplain. In addition, we stand ready to assist clergy or pastoral visitors coming to visit their congregants.
