OSF Saint Paul Medical Center
Spiritual Support
As part of the OSF Saint Paul Medical Center health care team, we are dedicated to serving you by assisting you with your spiritual needs. Pastoral Care staff visit many of the patients at OSF Saint Paul Medical Center. Although the Pastoral Care team is comprised of priests and sisters, we are here to serve all regardless of denomination.
In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest care and love, in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
At OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center, we understand the importance of spiritual support and pastoral care in the healing process. Times of illness are never easy, and the support of family, friends, faith communities and religious practices become all the more important.
