Spiritual care

Our part-time chaplain offers a compassionate presence while providing emotional and spiritual care and counsel. The chaplain promotes wholeness and the well-being of patients, residents, families, and staff. The chaplain honours all persons and is respectful of their unique journeys and the health, cultural, philosophical, religious and spiritual traditions. As an integrated member of the care team, our chaplain provides spiritual leadership across Covenant Health sites.

  • End-of-life support, ceremonies or decision making
  • Crisis situations
  • Conversations that explore meaning and purpose in life
  • Grief and loss
  • Support for families and friends impacted by a loved one's illness or death
  • Exploring ethical concerns of patients, residents and staff
