Spiritual Care

Spiritual care is an integral part of the support we provide at UCI Medical Center.

It is a source of comfort and strength for patients and families as they navigate the challenges of hospitalization and serious illness while making difficult decisions.

Our team includes chaplains and volunteer spiritual care leaders from different faiths. They provide compassionate and caring spiritual support to patients and their families. 

Our team respects different beliefs, cultures and values.
