By Your Side, Offering Hope and Strength
Illness, injury, and trauma can disrupt the values, beliefs, and relationships that shape you and your life. Spiritual care can help facilitate wholeness and healing during your hospitalization.
St. Luke's chaplains are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Spiritual care is provided with respect for all faith traditions, including care for those who are not religious. In the hospital, you can reach us by asking any staff member to page the chaplain. You may also call us anytime at (208) 381-2100.
What to Expect
The Role of a Chaplain
Our chaplains listen with respect, learn what is important to you and extend support that meets your needs.
Comfort and Care
Our chaplains will help you process thoughts and emotions without judgment. They can also assist you in exploring areas of personal meaning and purpose, while holding confidential space for your journey.
Gentle Guidance
We will walk alongside you during life’s most challenging moments, including end-of-life care. Our team is honored to offer prayer, sacraments, rituals, and other spiritual or religious support whenever requested.
Respect and Acceptance
We believe that honoring religious and cultural diversity is essential to creating a compassionate and respectful environment. Our team is committed to supporting individuals from all backgrounds—providing space for what matters most to you. Together, we embrace the richness of every belief and culture.
Connection Support
When life brings trauma, loss, or grief, we help you stay connected to the people and resources that matter most. Our team can coordinate with your community clergy or spiritual leaders and activate support networks to ensure you have care, strength, and companionship during difficult times.
Interfaith Chapels and Restorative Spaces
Sanctuaries of Peace and Healing
St. Luke’s invites you to use our chapels and gardens to nurture your spiritual and emotional healing. Each space provides a quiet, confidential environment for prayer, meditation and reflection. They are wheelchair accessible and welcoming to all. Our hope is that these spaces will revitalize your heart and recharge your spirit.
