We understand that healing involves more than just physical care—it also includes emotional and spiritual support. That's why our on-site Chapel is open 24-hours a day, offering a quiet, sacred space for prayer, reflection, and comfort.
The Chaplaincy program started in 1970 by pathologist Dr. Bockhacker and Rev. Faulkner Mercer (pictured), this space is now part of our Spiritual Care Department, which is dedicated to supporting the well-being of every individual who walks through our doors.
