Chapel
Our hospital chapel is open 24 hours a day for the benefit of our patients and their families as well as hospital staff. Located at the end of B Wing, the chapel is available to all those who desire a place of solitude.
Local Pastors
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.
You May Call
You may contact us at (402) 375-3800 ext. 7923 during the day. In the evening, the nursing staff will assist you in contacting the chaplain. Our patients and their family members find comfort in knowing that their needs are remembered to the Lord on a regular basis. You may call on the chaplain to request a personal prayer at any time.
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.
