Pastoral Care Endowment

The Pastoral Care Endowment supports pastoral education at Bronson, spiritual care services, spiritual patient assistance and continuing education for regional clergy.

Chaplains play an important role in healing by helping patients draw on their spirituality. They work with the medical team to ensure spirituality is addressed in the holistic care of patients and families. At Bronson, our chaplains:

• Respond to all traumas and life-threatening emergencies
• Support interdisciplinary teams, patients and visitors on every unit
• Provide walk-in spiritual counseling for employees
• Connect patients and families with their religious communities
• Provide memorial services, weddings, baptisms and funeral arrangements
• Offer assistance with the Hospitality House and other sleeping arrangements for out-of-town families
• Connect patients with other services that can offer assistance with prescriptions, transportation and other community health contacts
