The McHenry Hospital Pastoral Care team provides spiritual and emotional care for patients, families and friends. We extend a welcoming hand to people of all faiths. Chaplains who are also healthcare professionals provide pastoral care and help people cope with life’s difficulties through conversation, partnership in prayer or by simply sitting with people in need. Our compassionate chaplains respect each person’s beliefs and listen without judgment. Our chaplains provide sacraments and connections to your own religious community and support groups. They also make regular rounds in the hospital and in the Emergency Department. When faced with some of life’s most difficult decisions, our chaplains are available for ethical consultations. They also provide information about living wills, advance directives and Do Not Resuscitate orders.
