Duke chaplains, in partnership with the rest of the health care team, provide spiritual and religious care for patients, families, caregivers, visitors, and staff throughout the Duke University Health System.

Through clinical pastoral care, chaplains manifest the spiritual dimension of Duke Medicine’s mission, facilitate collaboration between the Duke University Medical Center and Duke Divinity School, and strengthen the relationship between the health system and religious communities at large.

Our patient care services include:

• 24-hour on-call chaplain for emergent spiritual care
• Weekday spiritual care by chaplains assigned to each inpatient area
• Multi-faith chapel for meditation, prayer, and reflection
• Weekly religious and spiritual health programming
• Access to community chaplains/associates from many religions/paths
