Spiritual Care

You Don't Have to Face This Alone

Care for the whole person. Body, mind, and spirit.

Faith Is at the Heart of What We Do

Baptist Health was founded to further the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. That calling shapes everything, from the care delivered at the bedside to the chapels built into every hospital. We believe healing is more than physical. So we fund the people, spaces, and resources that care for the spirit when it needs it most. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome here.

Who We Serve

Care That Reaches Patients and Team Members

Spiritual care at Baptist Health isn't a program offered on request. It's woven into the daily life of every hospital. Patients facing difficult diagnoses, families waiting for news, and team members carrying the weight of their work all have access to the same support.

Everyone Is Welcome

No matter your faith background, you belong here.

Chaplain Ministry

Personalized Care and Support From Our Chaplains

Baptist Health Foundation funds chaplain salaries across the system. These aren't volunteers filling gaps. They are trained, credentialed professionals whose full-time work is spiritual care. When you give to the Foundation, you put a chaplain in the room when a family gets hard news, when a nurse needs a moment to breathe, when someone just needs another person to sit with them.

Present When It Matters Most

Our chaplains show up at the bedside, in the waiting room, and in the break room.

Trained to Listen Without Judgment

Chaplains meet patients and team members where they are, without assumption or agenda.

Available to All Faiths

Spiritual care is offered to every person, regardless of religious background or belief.

Hospital Chapels

A Place to Breathe in Every Hospital

Every Baptist Health hospital has a chapel. These spaces are open around the clock to patients, families, and team members who need a quiet place to pray, grieve, or simply sit. The Foundation funds the construction and care of these chapels, including the Christian artwork and Bibles inside each one.

Always Open

Chapels are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

  • I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful new artwork placed throughout the hospital, especially in the Emergency Department. During a recent end of life encounter a patient’s brother read, “The Lord is my Shepherd,” and became very emotional, sharing how deeply it ministered to him in that moment.
