Here for patients 24 hours a day, every day

A surgery or a hospital stay can be a frightening, anxious or lonely time for patients and their families. At Swedish Medical Center, chaplains are available around the clock to provide confidential emotional and spiritual support, individual or family counseling and assistance in contacting clergy of all faiths.

The professional chaplains in our Spiritual Care program have all completed comprehensive training and are constantly furthering their knowledge to meet the special demands they face in a hospital setting. They are available to be present with you and/or your loved ones and never impose religious preferences or personal philosophies on patients or families.
