Hospice of Marion County, Inc. recognizes the importance of Spiritual Care for patients and families. One’s beliefs and values can profoundly affect how patients and their families cope with illness. Hospice patients and their families may experience spiritual, religious or cultural concerns arising as a result of living with a terminal illness. Hospice Clinical Chaplains are available for support and may collaborate with a patient’s personal clergy if the patient and family wish. Sometimes people simply need to share their thoughts and feelings with someone that listens with compassion and respects confidentiality. There is never any attempt to impose a particular faith or tradition or to change a person’s belief system. Hospice Clinical Chaplains respect and acknowledge the patient’s spiritual and cultural values and how these values may impact a patient’s response to their overall care. You may request a Chaplain at any time of the day or night, by calling 352-873-7400. Meet our chaplains:Chaplain Jack Cushman Our Resources page has variety of support topics.
