Interfaith ChaplainWhat is Interfaith Chaplain/Spiritual Care?
The Interfaith Chaplain/Spiritual Care at CVMC is committed to supporting the healing process by discovering, honoring, and tending to the human spirit. We help patients and family members who are facing challenges due to illness or injuries through respectful attention to each person’s spirituality, religious beliefs, dignity and privacy. These services are available to patients and families of all faiths and those with no faith affiliation. A chapel is located on the second floor of the hospital. It is a quiet sanctuary for people of all faiths to be apart, to sit quietly, reflect or pray.
