Duke's pastoral services include pastoral care and counseling, along with spiritual nurture, to patients, families, and staff throughout Duke University Health System.

We have independent departments at each of our inpatient medical centers:

• Duke University Medical Center (includes Duke University Hospital, Duke Children's Hospital and Health Center, and Duke Clinic)
• Duke Raleigh Hospital
• Durham Regional Hospital

The Department of Pastoral Services at Duke University Medical Center is the health system's flagship program, offering an array of spiritual programming, 24-hour on-call chaplains, and clinical pastoral education.
