Spiritual Care
The Mission of Chaplaincy, through Christian faith, is to foster hope and integrity in residents and staff, by attention to Word, sacrament and visitation.
Bethesda employs three non-denominational, pastoral care chaplains who are trained, certified, and called by the church for work in a long-term care setting. The chaplains work in partnership with residents, their family and parish.
