Did you know that one in four Americans have had met with a chaplain — and that 40 percent of those interactions take place in hospitals?
At Methodist Healthcare System, we believe healing involves more than medicine — it touches the heart, mind, and spirit.
Our chaplains serve as compassionate companions for patients, families, and staff, walking beside them in moments of uncertainty, grief, and hope. Whether offering prayer, a quiet presence, or a listening ear, chaplains help bring peace into life’s hardest days.
They guide patients through seasons of challenge, support families in times of waiting and loss, and remind our caregivers that their work is more than a profession — it’s a calling that reflects compassion, mercy, and God’s love expressed through human hands.
As we celebrate Pastoral Care Week, we give thanks for the chaplains who embody our mission of “Serving Humanity to Honor God” each and every day.
