At registration, patients are asked if they affiliate with a particular congregation, and we will call their spiritual caregiver on their behalf with the patients' approval. There are approximately 22,000 different denominations of faith on this planet. In Charlotte there are more than 100 denominations and faith groups. We remain committed to connecting all patients if they so choose with their community of faith. The Interdenominational Chapel located on the 3rd level of CMC near the Cafeteria is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is one of the best used rooms in the facility.
Chaplains are on call and on duty at all times.
They can be reached through the nursing staff. Chaplains respond to more than 3,000 crises during the night each year. On Patient Channel 21 at CMC, there is a 13-hour program of devotions, meditations and discussions of spiritual care and health from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
