When You Need Spiritual Support

Volunteer chaplains are available at Gateway Medical Center to provide spiritual care and support to our patients, family members and staff. As members of the healthcare team, chaplains provide a ministry of compassion to persons encountering a full range of medical, emotional and spiritual crises.

Specially trained and qualified chaplain volunteers, representing diverse denominational backgrounds, assist in providing pastoral care ministry on a 24 hour basis, seven days a week.

Our Hospice chaplain is available to make home visits with patients and families under care of Hospice of Gateway Health System. For more information contact Gateway Hospice at 931-502-3600.

How to Contact a Chaplain

To request a visit or inquire about other Pastoral Care services you may make a request through the nursing staff on the patient unit or contact the hospital operator to access the chaplain on-call.

For Your Convenience and Spiritual Care

Our newly remodeled Chapel is located off the main lobby and is always open for prayer and meditation or quiet time with family and friends. The beautiful stained glass windows provide a focal point for reflection and invite persons of all faiths to experience a sense of God's creating, renewing and sustaining presence.

Bibles, devotional books and a variety of spiritual support materials are available in the Chapel and waiting areas. Upon request, these will be delivered to patient rooms.
