Chaplain

St. Peter's Hospital believes that total patient care requires attention to spiritual as well as physical and emotional needs. Our chaplain, The Rev. Jim Shelden, is specially trained for ministry in a hospital setting and provides pastoral services to patients and their families of all faiths. Your own priest or minister is always welcome and St. Peter's chaplain is available to assist and support them.

Chaplain Shelden is available to help you and your family in many ways:

• With spiritual and emotional counseling to help you cope with illness
  
• With medical ethical counsel and advance directives information (e.g., living wills).
  
• With Prayer and sacraments.
  
• With Pastoral visitation in the privacy of your own room, respecting your own faith background.
  
• With arranging spiritual care from the resources in our community
