Pastoral care
The Diantha Ann Hoffman Memorial Chapel, located near Condell's main lobby, is open around the clock for prayer and meditation, as is The Nemmers Family Chapel, which is in the West Tower.
Spiritual care provides a comforting role in the patient's healing process. Our commitment to spiritual care is exemplified through our hospital chaplains who are available 24/7 in person or via telechaplaincy. Condell's hospital chaplains respect each patient's and family's unique cultural, spiritual and psychosocial needs.
