If you have any problems or concerns with any patient service, please call Patient Relations at 413-4042 or have the operator page. We respect the dignity and soul of every person regardless of beliefs, faith tradition, or spiritual journey. Chaplains assist patients through initial visits, respond to all referrals, crises or questions of health and faith and, as requested, are happy to provide bedside prayer and sacraments such as communion and anointing. Bibles and audio cassettes of Scripture are available from the offices of Pastoral Services. Contact with a patient's faith community or representative will be made whenever requested by patients or their families.
Chapels are open at all times for spiritual support, meditation, and quiet reflection.
An inter-faith service of worship is provided each weekday and, along with time and location, is announced over the hospital public address system. At most times, these services are informal, lasting about 20 minutes. Everyone is most welcome. The chapels can be identified by Good Samaritan's traditional three vertical crosses affixed beside the respective entries of the Chapel and Pastoral Services office. A medical ethics program is available to help you with difficult medical decisions.
