Pastoral Care Pastoral Care chaplains are a presence at the bedside, but that’s just the beginning of what this highly skilled and educated team offers. Their calming presence also helps keep patients and families centered, whether they’re in the high-paced and stressful environment of the Emergency Department or receiving an infusion at the Cancer Institute. As core members of the trauma team, our chaplains work with physicians and nurses to determine how to best care for patients and their families. When team members need support, Pastoral Care offers that, too.
