Spiritual Care

CHOC cares about our patients’ and their families’ spiritual and emotional well-being. Many families find it comforting to be able to practice their faith in the hospital. Our hospital chaplains are available to:

• Provide spiritual support.
• Provide emotional support and strength during difficult times and while making decisions.
• Pray or meditate with you.
• Perform or arrange baptism, prayer support, anointing of the sick and other services.
• Arrange visitation with community clergy from your particular faith tradition.
• Provide assistance to those considering bioethical issues.
