Pastoral Care

The goal of pastoral care at Wooster Community Hospital is to assure that every patient receives spiritual care that complements the physical care he or she receives.

If local clergy want to know whether any of their parishioners are hospitalized, we will provide this information unless the patient opts not to be included on the hospital census.

A patient may also request that their church be notified of their admission, and our chaplain's office will forward this information to the church.

The hospital chaplain attempts to visit patients who have no church affiliation, and he supplements the spiritual care given to those with church affiliations when needed. At times when the hospital chaplain is not in the building, local pastors who volunteer as on-call chaplains are available when pastoral care needs arise.
