Relaxation Tapes Relaxation tapes are available at any time of the day or night on the PBMT unit. Listen to a variety of soft, relaxing music when you need to. Ask any nurse how to check out the tapes. This support group is held as needed, dependent on the age and number of inpatients. The goal is to facilitate communication of patients and their siblings to better help them cope with the BMT process.
Most people find talking to others who are going through similar experiences helpful.
Parents can discuss and share information on how to handle new experiences and how these events have affected their family life. The chaplains in the Department of Pastoral Services are available to serve as your pastors while you are in the hospital. Their ministry is to offer companionship, support and spiritual care to patients and their relatives. They will offer communion and other sacraments upon request. A secretary will take your requests, or Ask your nurse or any staff member to call a chaplain for you.
