Spiritual Health
Spiritual Health at Concordia is reflective of our core values, compassion and respect. Our staff are trained to accompany and support our patients and their loved ones during a time of illness, being respectful of their beliefs, values, and religious or spiritual background.
We offer the following services:
- Visitation, companionship, and a listening ear with compassion and understanding
- Providing support during times of crisis, grief or loss
- Prayer and inspirational readings
- Arranging services, rituals, sacraments and ceremonies respecting one’s beliefs
- Assisting patients and their families with ethical issues and decision making
Sanctuary
The hospital Chapel provides a peaceful and serene atmosphere for quiet meditation, reflection and prayer. Within our Chapel you will find a selection of inspirational books/magazines, a prayer book that gives our Chaplains permission to pray for the requests you submit, as well as a prayer corner which can be used for private personal prayers or quiet time. Open 24 hours a day, this space can be accessed by anyone and is located on the Main Floor of the hospital.
