Spiritual Care

At Wolfson Children’s Hospital, our caring and specially trained pediatric chaplains are available around the clock to offer comfort, support and guidance to children and families.

Multi-Faith Approach

Our pediatric chaplains minister from a multi-faith perspective and are culturally sensitive to all people, regardless of religion, creed, race, gender, nationality or beliefs.

Chaplains Assigned to All Units

Pediatric chaplains are assigned to every unit in the children’s hospital and routinely make rounds, just like other medical professionals.

Children’s Chapel

The children’s chapel is a place where people of all faiths, cultures and ages are welcome for spiritual renewal. This sanctuary offers personal reflection and is designed for comfort and peace. It’s located on the 4th floor and is open 24/7.
