As an 11-year seasoned chaplain at City of Hope Phoenix in Goodyear, Chaplain Jeffrey says, "I believe one's faith is the cornerstone to the patient's healing process." There are times though a patient needs more support than their faith can provide. This is where the Pastoral Care Department is able to provide additional support and resources. By providing ministry of presence, active listening, encouragement, coordination of care with other churches or departments, and at times, prayer, we are able and equipped to come alongside a patient at quite possibly the most difficult time of their life. "Our goal is to meet the patient wherever they may be along their faith journey. I consider this an honor and privilege."
Community outreach events will be announced here as scheduled.
