Spiritual Care & Well-Being at Princeton Health

Welcome to the department of Spiritual Care & Well-Being, where chaplains provide person-centered multi-faith spiritual care to patients, their families, staff, & physicians throughout Penn Medicine Princeton Health. For those who identify as spiritual or of no faith, chaplains provide person-centered well-being support to exploring themes of meaning, purpose, and connection.

A chaplain can help if you are looking for:

A listening ear and open heart

Working with guilt, anger, grief, etc
Conversation about end-of-life decision-making
Blessings or Prayers
Sacramental Functions: Baptisms, Naming Ceremonies, Communion
Contacting your clergy or house of worship

To contact a chaplain during regular work hours, you can:

Call (609) 853-6020 to reach the Department of Spiritual Care & Well-Being
Let your nurse know you would like to speak with a chaplain

For emergencies outside of regular business hours, a chaplain can be reached through the PMC operator at (609) 853-6500.

As part of your admission process, you can designate your religion and congregation if you so desire. If you do so, this allows us to coordinate with your clergy for them to visit you.

Established in 1964 as an outreach ministry of the Princeton Clergy Association, this department is a partnership between the local faith communities and Princeton Health.
