Get support with Pastoral Care.

Spirituality can be a comfort during times of illness, injury, or when you are facing a major life change. Our interfaith team can provide spiritual and emotional support, or simply listen and hold your hand. We support patients, families, doctors, and Health First associates of all faiths and those without spiritual affiliations.

To request Pastoral Care services:

• Submit a Pastoral Care visitation request
• Call our office at 321.434.3126, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
• For urgent or after-hours support, call the hospital operator at 321.434.7000 and ask for the on-call chaplain
• If you are in the hospital, ask your unit nurse to request a chaplain
   

Spiritual care volunteers. 

Spiritual care volunteers are an extension, and specially trained team, of our hospital Pastoral Care department. Spiritual care volunteers visit patients and their families in our hospitals, under the direct supervision of our hospital chaplains. Spiritual care volunteers provide encouragement and spiritual refreshments to patients. Spiritual care volunteer visits significantly enhance the patient's journey of health while in our hospitals. 

To learn more about becoming a spiritual care volunteer, fill out a volunteer application or email karen.meyer@hf.org.
