Spiritual Support


When you or someone you love is facing health or wellbeing challenges, it can be a scary and confusing time. You might feel anxious and not know where to turn. To help support you through your healthcare experience and bring you some comfort, Riverside Medical Center provides a pastoral care program.

We offer services to help you cope and heal, including:

  • Spiritual counseling
  • Prayer
  • Scripture readings
  • Music
  • Baptism
  • Anointing
  • Blessings
  • Communion
  • Confession
  • Sabbath
  • Memorial candles
  • Grief support

We also hold memorial services in March, July and November to honor loved ones.

Our director of pastoral care is board-certified by the Association of Professional Chaplains. Pastoral care staff includes ordained clergy as associate chaplains, a volunteer Catholic chaplain and volunteer Protestant lay chaplains. On request, we can also refer patients, family members and friends to outside clergy.

Our Chapel: Everyone’s Welcome

Our All Faiths Chapel is open 24/7 and located on the main floor near the coffee shop. It’s a great place to go if you need a quiet place to sit and meditate or pray. We host an inclusive, nondenominational worship service every Sunday at 3 p.m. Close to the chapel, you’ll find our healing garden, a beautiful and tranquil environment to soothe your spirit.
