Spiritual Care Services
The mission of Spiritual Care Services is to provide excellence in spiritual care and education for our patients, their families, students, staff and the broader community.
If you or someone you care about is ever a patient at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, and find a need for solace and strength that can be found only through spiritual support, we encourage you to call upon our Spiritual Care Services. This service is non-denominational and works closely with you, the nursing staff and social services to determine the type of spiritual, religious and cultural support that would provide the most comfort for you and your family. This support is available to people of all ages, regardless of diagnosis.
Our Pastoral Care is here for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition to meeting specific “everyday” needs, it’s available for crises, medical emergencies and other critical incidents that require this type of strength and guidance.
We also welcome clergy of all faiths to visit members of their congregation or parish. An interfaith worship service is also offered each Tuesday and Thursday at noon in the Hospital chapel, located just off the main lobby.
