Pastoral Care Team


Our clinically trained and certified chaplains assist patients and their caregivers by bringing awareness to the spiritual resources that are available to them during their hospital stay. Pastoral Care Services provided by Children’s of Alabama chaplains include:

  • Bedside visits with patients and families
  • Serving as a liaison between the medical team and family during trauma and crisis situations
  • Providing sacred rituals and spiritual resources such as sacraments, prayer, sacred texts, meditation or Godly Play
  • Leading weekly worship services in Bew White Chapel
  • Facilitating contact with community, spiritual care representatives and resources

The Pastoral Care Team is available around the clock. If you or a patient wish to take advantage of the services Pastoral Care provides, feel free to ask a nurse or call the hospital operator at 205-638-9100.

The Pastoral Care office is located on the 1st floor of the McWane Building, adjacent to Bew White Chapel and across the hall from the GO Store. The office phone number is 205-638-9090.
