In keeping with the philosophy that we treat
each person holistically, the certified chaplains of Spiritual
Care Resources at Mercy Medical Center coordinate and treat the
spiritual needs of patients, their families and friends, hospital
staff, physicians, and volunteers. We also train and orient pastors
of the area to help with initial evaluations and on-call services.
We are available at all times for any emergency needs that arise.
| Our key functions are: |
| • |
Helping people find comfort
and meaning in the midst of crisis |
| • |
Supporting people through providing
appropriate religious services and rituals |
| • |
Educating people about the methods
of spiritual care
|
| • |
Responding and advising about ethical concerns and questions |
| • |
Maintaining a chapel where people
are invited to find comfort and quiet through prayer and
meditation |
| • |
Giving grief support and bereavement
services to appropriate families and friends |
Besides working in the hospital, our chaplains
serve in home health, hospice and in several nursing homes in
the community, as well as serve on a variety of community committees.
