Patient Population Served The Department of Pastoral Services is available to serve all patients, family members, visitors, and staff at our facility.  We serve all patients regardless of their religious preference. Patient Care Planning and Coordination Pastoral Care staff works in cooperation with the staff, including social work, home health, physician, and others, as well as the family and patient, to coordinate care.  As often as possible, the Chaplain is a part of the discharge planning team to evaluate the patient’s need(s) regarding discharge environment.  The Chaplain also serves on the Ethics Committee to support the process of education, policy development, and case review as needed. Staffing Plan The Department of Pastoral Services is staffed with two clinically trained, Board Certified Chaplains.  The occasional employed chaplains and the volunteers are persons selected and screened by the Chaplain, and are either currently active as community clergy persons or retired.  Preference will be directed to persons having certified training by the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education.
