Suffering from illness, disease, accidents, or age can be among life's most difficult burdens. Such suffering can cause anxious questions: Why am I sick? Why did this happen to me? Can I handle it? Where is God in all this? Medical science can help of course - and we should seek help from doctors and medical resources - but in sickness we often look for spiritual support as well.
Lahey Clinic understands that caring for the whole person must include addressing spiritual and religious needs as well as medical issues. Therefore, the hospital offers the services of the Chaplaincy Department. Trained in pastoral care and counseling, family systems, ethics, and religious and spiritual traditions, our chaplains are available to provide emotional and spiritual support to our patients, families, and staff.
To contact us, please call 781-744-8800 or email chaplain@lahey.org.
