Caring for the mind, body and spirit of patients, families and health care workers.
Spiritual Services enriches lives by providing a ministry of presence to patients, families and health care professionals regardless of their religious affiliation or spiritual orientation or lack thereof.
At Marshfield Clinic Health System, we recognize that a hospitalization can result in life changing events, and your emotional and spiritual health may also require expert attention. Our Spiritual Services team is available at multiple hospital locations and consists of experienced and dedicated chaplains.
Our chaplains bring a healing presence to each individual by:

- Journeying with them in their pain.
- Honoring their dignity.
- Promoting respect for their beliefs and values irrespective of faith or religious affiliation
