Spiritual Care

Montefiore Medical Center clergy provide spiritual care, counseling and support for patients and families. They serve as resources in the crisis of hospitalization by helping families and patients find the strength to deal with fears, concerns, doubts and questions which may arise in the face of illness.

Our clergy are available for listening, assisting in decisions when families are in an unfamiliar place, grief facilitation, providing a prayer, sacraments, devotional materials, to contact local clergy and family, to help with ethical consultation and to intervene on the patient's behalf.

Spiritual care is always available for patients and families at Montefiore Medical Center. You may request a rabbi, minister or priest through the patient’s nurse or by calling the phone numbers provided. Spiritual support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week upon request. Special hours and services are listed here.

Make requests through the patient’s nurse.
