Mission

Pastoral care can benefit you whether you’re a patient, family member, visitor, or teammate of Wayne UNC. Regain a sense of strength, peace, and meaning from ministers who care for the soul while respecting your beliefs and traditions. Our chaplains understand that spirituality and emotions play an important role in healing.

How a Chaplain Helps

Ask a chaplain for help:

  • Contacting your family’s clergy
  • Coping in times of crisis, grief, fear, or anger
  • Finding community resources and support groups
  • Making care decisions
  • Navigating ethical issues
  • Receiving sacraments

Your chaplain will understand your needs, listen without judgement, and respect your privacy.

Chapel

Pray or meditate in the chapel on the West Wing Ground Floor hallway. You may also write prayer requests in the chapel journal for hospital chaplains to read. The chapel is open 24/7.
