FAITH CENTER AND SPIRITUAL CARE
At UC Health, we believe that every patient and guest has the right to exercise their own religious, cultural and personal values. We will respect your beliefs and assist you in addressing your spiritual needs. Our meditation room (N1-32), located on the first floor outside the West Pavilion, is open 24 hours a day to all patients and visitors. We are also pleased to offer the pastoral care services of our clinically trained staff, volunteers and student chaplains. Our Spiritual Care team represents the diversity of our global community and speaks multiple languages. Should you request the services or sacraments offered by local clergy, we are glad to arrange that service or sacrament for you. The Eucharist is delivered multiple times weekly for our Roman Catholic patients. Community clergy are encouraged to check in with our staff chaplains once they arrive on the hospital campus in order to brief them on infection control protocols and safety measures.
OUTDOOR AREAS
For your enjoyment, there are two courtyard areas. The Patient and Family Outdoor Pavilion is located off the main floor (level 1) of the West Pavilion. The Friedlander Therapeutic Courtyard is located off the AR level of the South Pavilion. Seating areas, tables and recreation activities are available for your use in these beautifully landscaped settings.
