Pastoral Care


Hospital chaplains, whether clergy, religious, or lay persons, are trained to provide pastoral care, spiritual support, counseling and services including sacraments, religious ritual and prayer in the hospital setting.  All chaplain interactions take place with sensitivity to privacy and confidentiality. The Pastoral Care office is located in Spellman 117. Please call 212-604-7858, or ask your nurse to make the contact for you. 

You may call a chaplain for support, to talk or to request a specific sacrament, religious rite or ritual, or if you are:

  • Concerned about adjusting to your diagnosis or illness
  • Concerned with the meaning or purpose of life
  • Experiencing a challenge to your belief system
  • Feeling hopeless or helpless
  • Concerned about difficult ethical or healthcare treatment decisions

 
Our Chapel
Our Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel is located on the second floor of the Link Building. Known for generations as the heart of the hospital, our chapel continues to be a place of refuge and peace for patients, staff and visitors. It is open daily from 6:00 a.m .to 9:00 p.m. (At other times, contact the supervisor of security.)
