At UCSD Medical Center, we recognize that pastoral and spiritual care is an integral part of the healing process. It provides an important source of comfort and strength to patients and families faced with serious illness and/or difficult decisions.
UCSD Medical Center's Chaplain Service provides a variety of spiritual and pastoral care services to patients and their family members faced with such circumstances.
Spiritual and emotional support is administered by an interfaith team of clergy, lay ministers and spiritual representatives.
Our goal is to provide compassionate, caring and spiritual support to patients, family members and friends which respects their beliefs, culture, traditions and value systems. Pastoral and spiritual care services are available at no charge.
