Pastoral Care
For some people, pastoral guidance and prayer help to enhance treatment and recovery. Memorial Hospital’s pastoral staff consists of clergy members of various faiths who are available to meet with patients upon request for spiritual counseling, guidance, and prayer. Patients who are hospitalized are encouraged to invite their minister, priest, rabbi or other spiritual counselor to visit with them during their stay or to request a visit from a hospital chaplain.

There is a nonsectarian chapel near the entrance of the hospital, across from the welcome desk. The chapel is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to all patients and visitors.
Wireless Internet
Wireless internet is available for your convenience in all locations of the hospital.
Visitor Overnight Stay
All patient rooms are designed with a spacious window seat. The window seat can be converted into a bed if needed by family members.
