Chaplain Service

VA Portland health care's chaplains are trained specialists in spiritual and religious care, available to patients and their families throughout their hospital stays. Our interfaith chapels offer space for quiet reflection as well as regularly scheduled services.

Chaplain Service
Chaplains provide caring, competent and respectful spiritual care to Veterans, and their loved ones, from all faith traditions and spiritual paths.
VA Portland Chaplains are available on the Portland and Vancouver campus Monday to Friday, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and are on call for spiritual care emergencies overnight and on weekends.
Chaplains are members of the interprofessional teams for both inpatient medical care as well as outpatient mental health care. If you wish to have a personal religious leader or faith group representative contacted, we can assist in arranging those visits.
Our chapels on the 3rd floor of the Portland Campus and in the Community Living Center at the Vancouver campus are open 24 hours a day for individual prayer, meditation or quiet reflection.
We look forward to assisting you with your spiritual needs while here.

Cancer care

If you’re diagnosed with cancer, our team will work with you, your primary care doctor, and other health care providers to develop a specialized treatment plan. We offer personal, compassionate and expert care.

What is cancer?
"Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.
Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. Tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or not cancerous (benign)."
From the National Cancer Institute - Understanding cancer
Risk factors for developing cancer
A person’s age, lifestyle, environment, genetic makeup and family history can increase the likelihood of developing cancer. Watch the Did You Know? Risk Factors for Cancer video or click each section below to learn about how these factors contribute to the development of cancer.

 Age 
 

Many people diagnosed with cancer are over 65 years old. Some cancers take a long time to develop. As you grow older, your cells age and are more likely to grow abnormally. They grow abnormally due to certain risk factors and changes in the cell.

 Life choices 
 

There are a number of life choices that impact your risk for developing cancer. A few examples include:
