Spiritual Care

The mission of Spiritual Care is to provide spiritual support and resources to the patients and families we serve, while also facilitating an environment of care that is uplifting and inclusive. Spiritual Care is integrated into the Family-Centered Care model at Children’s of Alabama. Clinically trained and certified chaplains care for patients and families by helping them identify and use the spiritual resources that are meaningful to them.

Spiritual Care services provided by staff and volunteers include:

Assess patient/family beliefs, feelings, values, and spiritual or cultural practices.
Provide developmentally and culturally appropriate spiritual care interventions (rituals, sacraments, sacred texts, prayer/meditation, etc.).

Share clinically relevant cultural and spiritual information with medical team.
Facilitate contact with faith community representatives and resources.

For general information about chaplain services provided at Children’s of Alabama email SpiritualCare@childrensal.org or call 205-638-9090.
