The Chaplaincy seeks to work with the members of the area Ministerial Association, notifying them of a member’s admission with the knowledge and consent of the patient. We work together with pastors encouraging integration, understanding and wholeness.

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God even when God is silent.
