Chaplain Services

A stay in the hospital can be a very unnerving experience for everyone involved. To provide comfort and support, Florida Hospital has chaplains on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our chaplains understand the importance of faith and prayer for healing and spiritual interventions complement traditional medical treatment. As a result, Florida Hospital is a leader in the healing of the whole person: mind, body and spirit.

Each of our compassionate and caring chaplains are trained professionals and are integral members of the Florida Hospital healing team. They are not only sensitive to the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of our patients, but their family and friends as well. Our chaplains invite meaningful and healthy use of an individual’s spiritual beliefs and resources in the midst of an illness or crisis.

Pastoral Care is fully integrated into the treatment program at Florida Hospital.

Our chaplains:

• Receive referrals from physicians and nurses.
• Participate in interdisciplinary care conferences.
• Enter their services into the medical records.
• Provide support to patients, family and staff 24 hours every day.
• Provide a bridge to community clergy as needed.

At the core of Pastoral Care is our belief in a God who cares and wants to support us in our daily walk. As representatives of God, our chaplains stand ready to assist you in your walk.
