What is professional, multifaith spiritual (or pastoral) care?
Professional multifaith spiritual (or pastoral) care contributes to effective, patient-centered health care. Through research, education, and practice, it helps people – regardless of religion or beliefs – deal constructively with the fundamental issues and questions that can be difficult to face when dealing with a health situation that has changed their life or that of a loved one. It helps people find meaning and comfort by drawing upon their personal source of strength.
