Life in the hospital can be hard. We are here to make your stay a little easier and to walk with you as you journey.
Our Spiritual Care Team consists of chaplains who are skilled at supporting those of any (or no) religious or spiritual tradition. We do this through deep listening, and through exploring together sources of strength, hope, meaning, and purpose. Chaplains also provide spiritual counsel, and facilitate ritual practices including prayer or meditation, mindfulness, and the arts to help you connect to the Sacred.
We can also connect you with faith-based resources and clergy in the community to meet tradition-specific spiritual needs while you are here. We foster spiritual wellness through personal interactions, ritual, and communal events.

Sanctuaries & Sacred Spaces
The Infinity Chapel and Reflection Room are places set apart to offer solace and serenity, and to allow you to connect with the Sacred. People of all backgrounds and spiritual paths are welcome to enter these spaces for personal prayer and reflection, or to gather for spiritual wellness events.
The Reflection Room is an intimate circular space that evokes the sky at sunrise or sunset. You are invited to write prayers and deposit them in the secure prayer wall. The prayers are honored by the Spiritual Care Team and ritually released. You may sit quietly, or make use of one of the prayer rugs.
The Infinity Chapel is large enough for gatherings, and contains an altar, holy water, and kneelers for prayer. You are welcome to appreciate the original encaustic art and enjoy the piano.
The Reflection Room and Infinity Chapel are both open daily from 6 am鈥9 pm.
