Pastoral Care

The Department of Pastoral Care reflects the Covenant HealthCare mission of providing quality care by attending to the medical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals. We value our Lutheran heritage, but offer ministry that is non-denominational in its approach.

The Pastoral Care Team serves in the hospital 24 hours a day ministering to patients, families, and hospital staff. Chaplains are trained in the areas of crisis ministry, advanced directives, and bioethics.

The Pastoral Care Department is accredited to offer Clinical Pastoral Education. For more information, call 989.583.6042 or e-mail us at bjballard@chs-mi.com.
