Spiritual support
HealthEast offers Spiritual Care to people of all religions, cultures and beliefs. The listening ear, caring compassion and supportive prayer of a chaplain is available to you, whether you're in the hospital or see us for outpatient appointments, diagnosis or treatment.
Chaplains are available through HealthEast by calling 651-232-7000 and asking the operator to contact a chaplain. Chapels are located at each of our hospitals for prayer and meditation.
Emotional support
Emotional support is crucial after a cancer diagnosis. Our cancer therapist meets with patients and their family members to listen and empower them. She shows how coping skills can help throughout the healing journey.
For information, call 651-232-7970.
