Chaplain Services

The LMH Chaplain Services department provides caring and sensitive attention to the spiritual needs of patients, caregivers and hospital personnel. Chaplain Services advocates concern for the patient's dignity, culture, beliefs and practices. Additionally, Chaplain Services supports the belief that care of the body alone is not effective if mind, heart and soul are ignored. A full-time, interfaith, board-certified chaplain is on duty throughout the week making patient rounds and working with the healthcare interdisciplinary team. On-call chaplains are available during the evening and weekend hours. Chaplains seek to be a presence of comfort and peace supporting the hospital in being a place of healing and hope.

The Chaplains are available to offer:

  • Confidentiality
  • Good listening skills
  • Spiritual assessment
  • Emotional and spiritual support
  • Faith crisis intervention
  • Grief and bereavement support
  • Blessings, prayer and sacraments
  • Funerals and memorial services
  • Spiritual wellness presentations
  • Referral and networking with community clergy
