Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care 

Memorial Hermann chaplains care for the spiritual well being of patients, families, staff and members of the hospital community. Our mission is to hold sacred the care of the soul.

We care for patients and families facing life-changing illness and adjustment, as well as those making end-of-life decisions. If you are separated from loved ones, anxious or feel the need for pastoral care, religious and spiritual support while at the hospital, take time to meet with our chaplains.

Partnering with the patient care team, we provide care through support, presence, comfort, religious worship, spiritual resources and pastoral counseling. Chaplains are available at all major health care facilities throughout our system.

Our Clinical Pastoral Education program, accredited by the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. equips clergy, seminarians and lay people with knowledge and skills to provide spiritual care. It also provides the training required to become a Board-Certified Chaplain with the Association of Professional Chaplains.
