Spiritual Care Services for Adults
At NYU Langone, we understand that spiritual and emotional wellbeing may be just as important to your health and recovery as the medical treatments you receive. Our spiritual care team collaborates with medical providers to ensure that you and your loved ones receive care that is consistent with your values, spiritual or religious beliefs, and cultural background. We are professional chaplains trained to counsel people of all religions and spiritual traditions. Our team also includes Catholic priests, imams, and rabbis who can provide faith-specific support.
We are here to listen, guide, and support. A chaplain can talk with you and your loved ones about your diagnosis and help you cope with the emotions that accompany illness and treatment. A chaplain can also provide counseling on faith-related issues, support you and your loved ones during difficult conversations, and offer prayer.
