SPIRITUAL
SUPPORT

is unique among Central Florida hospitals because of its emphasis
on spirituality as a significant part of the healing process.
A team of chaplains is available for the primary purpose of ministering
to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families.
In addition to the 24-hour coverage provided by the pastoral care
staff, the chaplains work closely with clergy of local churches
and synagogues. To contact a chaplain, dial 407/303-2670
or 407/303-1553 or visit the Pastoral
