Call 911 nowSpiritual & Pastoral Care
A quiet complement to the lines above, for anyone who would also like someone to hold space and pray beside them. This is always offered alongside, never instead of, clinical and emergency mental-health care. There is no pressure here; it is entirely your choice.
Hospital Chaplaincy & Inpatient Advocacy
If you or a loved one are admitted to a hospital or psychiatric facility, you have a patient's right to ask for a Priest, Chaplain, Rabbi, Pastor, Imam, or another spiritual caregiver. Chaplaincy and spiritual care are a normal, free part of hospital care, you never need to be religious to ask, and your request is private.
How to ask: tell a nurse or doctor, “I'd like to see a chaplain,” or call the hospital's spiritual-care office at any hour. If a facility cannot arrange the specific leader you want, ask to speak with the patient-advocacy office, and a trusted loved one may help you advocate, too. This is gentle and entirely yours to choose, you may also decline it at any time.
