Chaplains are a diverse group of spiritual care providers and serve as part of the clinical team. They provide support for spiritual and emotional distress with treatment options for the best quality of patient care. Chaplains offer resources to encourage healing with healthcare issues, loss, or changes in prognosis and sudden death. Our Spiritual Care department is also available to assist in advance directives, DNR and/or withdrawal of life support.

We are happy to arrange to have a pastor, rabbi, imam or spiritual leader of your faith visit upon your request.

What does a chaplain do?

Chaplains provide a comforting presence to patients and their loved ones during times of anxiety, doubt, distress and loss. They actively listen and help patients process their experiences to access their source of meaning and hope.

As an integral part of the healthcare team, a chaplain provides emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families when they are being treated for traumatic injury, illness, contemplating advance directives, or making end of life decisions. A chaplain may also assist during times of loss, emotionally processing test results, and a serious diagnosis.

When to call a chaplain

Chaplains can provide comfort and guidance if you or a loved one is experiencing any of the following:

• A desire for prayer, scripture or the administration of the sacraments
• A fear of death
• Emotional distress, discouragement, depression, anxiety, fear or despair
• Struggling with the meaning of your illness
• The anticipation of test results, medical procedures, surgery, or upon diagnosis or prognosis
• The need of a confidential conversation or a confession
• Times of loneliness, loss and grief
• Trying to cope with illness for yourself or a loved one
• Wanting someone to talk to you or pray alongside you

Spiritual Care is Here for You.

If you are in need of spiritual care while here at HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital, please ask your healthcare provider to arrange for a pastor, rabbi, imam or spiritual leader of your faith to come see you.

Heavenly Father, source of all healing, I humbly ask you to look upon my present needs with eyes of compassion and lay your healing hands upon me. I pray that you will give me the strength to turn this suffering into joy, this pain into comfort, and this fear into courage. From your loving heart and life-giving powers, grant peace to my soul, restoring me to wholeness and vitality once more. In gratitude. Amen.

May the One who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bless [NAME] with healing. May the Holy One have mercy on them, heal, strengthen and revive them. Speedily grant them a complete healing, a healing of the soul and a healing of the body, along with all who are ill, now and without delay. And let us say: Amen.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth…” (Psalm 121: 1-8)
