The safety and well-being of our community and staff are the driving values of Osceola Medical Center’s Spiritual Care and Chaplaincy Program. With a staff of daily and on-call chaplains, our program can provide the spiritual and emotional care and counsel you may need any time of the day, regardless of faith affiliation.
We recognize that the human spirit needs special care during special times in life, including hospitalization or dealing with significant losses. We work closely with area clergy and faith group leaders to ensure that you receive that care through your own religious affiliation or existing pastoral relationship. In the absence of that affiliation or relationship, we are there to provide the care and support you and your family may need.
We also work closely with health care providers, mental health professionals, local communities, civic leaders and others to provide a comprehensive service. Our chaplains help foster community support; work with volunteer crisis intervention teams; and promote continuing education for area clergy.
