Many times hospice patients and their families desire spiritual guidance during this intimate time of life.

Our Chaplain, Roy Green, and over 25 trained Spiritual Care volunteers from various faiths are available to meet the needs of our patients, no matter what their belief or religious affiliation may be, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way.

HospiceCenter respects your right to choose where you obtain your spiritual and religious care. If requested, our hospice Chaplain or a volunteer will visit with you and your family to help access and evaluate your individual spiritual or religious needs.

Some of the spiritual needs we can assist with are:

  • Discussion around life’s meaning and achievements
  • Developing a deeper awareness of spiritual strength
  • A need for spiritual conversation and fellowship
  • Re-evaluate or examine spiritual beliefs
  • Consider beliefs in an afterlife
  • Reconcile family relationships, feelings, guilt and life choices
  • Meditation and prayer or religious rituals
