The Brooklyn Hospital Center chaplains listen to patients and family with openness and understanding. We respect the personal beliefs of each individual and the ability to draw on these beliefs in responding to illness and recovery. Chaplains comfort people of all backgrounds and faiths by helping them use their spiritual and emotional wisdom to find meaning, courage and hope.
People do not have to belong to a specific faith community — or even consider themselves religious — to call for a multifaith chaplain. We are pleased to assist in meeting spiritual needs of all and are available to pray with those who request it.
All of our chaplains reflect loving compassion and provide spiritual care and emotional support to patients, their loved ones and hospital staff members.
We care for people of every faith, as well as those who have no religious beliefs or affiliation.
