Chaplain Services
Our spiritual care team is specially trained to provide holistic, spiritual
care to persons of all religious faiths, including those without any religious
affiliation. Some of the services that chaplains can assist with include
the baptism of infants, communion, pre-surgery prayer, contacting the
respective pastor, priest, clergy, or to be someone to talk to about spiritual
needs. The spiritual care team can be reached through the hospital operator
or by calling their office at (559) 624-2263. An on–call chaplain
or priest is available for emergencies through the administrative supervisor.
We also have a chapel available for you. This is a place of quiet reflection
that is always open for your convenience. The chapel is located on the
first floor near Patient Access and the information desk.
