Spiritual Care and Grief
Our professional chaplains are committed to addressing your spiritual and emotional needs. Our mission is to provide sensitive support to you and your family during your stay here. We recognize that your struggle with illness or injury may initiate a spiritual struggle as well. We are here to walk with you through your journey—while respecting your culture, religion, value system, traditions, and faith community.
Contact a Chaplain
Ask your nurse or physician to page the on-call chaplain. A chaplain is available Monday through Friday 8 am - 11 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:30 am - 9 pm. You may also leave a message at 612-873-2260 and a chaplain will return your call as soon as able.
The Spiritual Center is located in the Red Building, Level 2 Skyway, adjacent to the Medical Library Services. The Spiritual Center is open 24 hours a day for patients, families, and employees. The Center is a spiritual space open for people of all faiths and no faith, for prayer, meditation, and quiet time.
