对很多病人来说, hospitalization – be it for illness, injury or the birth of a child – involves mental and emotional issues. Often, patients and their families are understandably anxious or apprehensive about what lies ahead.  纽约医院 is dedicated to supporting you and your family physically, emotionally and spiritually during your stay. We are here for you in times of difficulty or discouragement, and in times of joy with the celebration of having a baby or a successful surgery.

纽约医院 recognizes that healing includes all dimensions of a person’s life. Healing takes many forms. Emotional and spiritual healing can be as powerful as physical cure, bringing with it a new sense of wholeness, acceptance of one’s self and others, 以及内心的平静.

Spiritual care is available to all, whether or not you have religious beliefs.

When you are in the hospital, you may be feeling anxious, angry, sad or any number of emotions. Or, you may be rejoicing at the birth of a child or a successful surgery and wish to celebrate with a blessing or 祈祷. Times of difficulty and crisis often make people wonder about deep questions of meaning and purpose. A chaplain can give you space to express the feelings you are experiencing or explore your spiritual doubts and longings. 牧师 do not force discussions about God on you. 牧师 provide confidential, compassionate, and nonjudgmental listening. 牧师 can provide information and guidance regarding ethical questions and end –of-life decisions. 牧师 assist patients and families in fostering hope while on their journey – in changing what can be changed, and in coping positively and 和平fully with what cannot be changed. Please let us know how we can best serve you. 牧师 can be reached by making a request through your nurse or by dialing 0 for the switchboard operator.

If you want to speak with someone who comes from your own church or faith, you can make that request through the hospital chaplain at x 3647. We will do our best to contact them and arrange a visit..
