Spiritual Care

Supporting you through challenging times

Hospitalization can bring challenges that aren’t limited to physical needs. Some people may feel fear, helplessness, and vulnerability. As a faith-based hospital, Adventist Health Mendocino Coast provides the spiritual support you and your loved ones may need as you journey through the healing process.

Supporting your healing journey

Physical health and well-being are significantly enhanced when a spiritual component is recognized. This observation is increasingly substantiated by medical evidence.

Our team of chaplains is dedicated to providing support for our patients and their families. They are available throughout the week, making rounds in the hospital. If you would like to schedule an appointment to talk, process, or pray, they are here for you. We understand that having someone to listen to your story and offer support can make a difference during challenging times. Our chaplains offer support when you:

  • Need someone to listen to your concerns
  • Want to make sure your family is being supported
  • Want someone to pray with you
  • Have questions about spiritual things
  • Are grieving the loss of a loved one
  • Need help connecting with someone from your faith tradition
  • Are making decisions following a life-altering event (palliative care)
  • Are making decisions about end-of-life care (hospice)

Chaplain services are completely free of charge. You can reach our chaplains by sending an email to wagnerc01@ah.org, and they will respond promptly to arrange a visit or a call. If you are a patient, you can also ask your nurse to connect you with a chaplain.
