Spiritual Care at Piedmont Newnan
Professional Chaplains are responsible for providing spiritual and emotional support for patients, families, loved ones and hospital staff. Whether a person has a deep-seated faith, a questioning faith, or does not have an association with any religious tradition, chaplains are clinically trained to provide care and support, to be the person who can pull up a chair and stay. Chaplains are members of the interdisciplinary team, assessing patient’s needs in a variety of ways and shaping specific interventions to lower spiritual distress and increase resilience, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
Chaplains provide, among other things:
- Spiritual Support
- Emotional care
- Outreach to an individual’s particular clergy or place of worship, when requested
- Support in the midst of difficult decisions and grief
- A calm and non-judgmental presence
- Care when experiencing fear, anger, anxiety or loss
- Participation in family meetings when critical decisions are being made
- Religious rituals
Spiritual Care is integrated into the life of Piedmont Newnan Hospital, with chaplains serving on committees, including the Ethics Committee. Piedmont Newnan Hospital currently has one full-time chaplain.
Chaplain services are available Monday through Friday. To get in touch with our hospital chaplain, please contact Spiritual Care Services at 770-400-2317.
The hospital chapel is located on the 1st floor across from the gift shop.
