At Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, chaplains from Pastoral Care are available to assist children, families and staff in significant ways as part of the health care team.
The questions of meaning that are raised during a child's illness play a significant role in the child's healing and the occasions for calling upon the chaplain may be many.
A chaplain is assigned to every unit in the hospital, and chaplains take initiative in visiting patients on their units. At Cincinnati Children's, a chaplain is available in-house 24 hours daily. Sensitivity to varied faith communities is assured, and relationships with local clergy and faith communities are fostered.
