Tidewell is not a religious organization, but the nature of our philosophy encompasses spiritual issues. At Tidewell, we believe all aspects of a person's life are significant and warrant attention. Medical needs matter, but just as important are psychosocial and spiritual needs.

The issue of addressing spirituality is a personal decision, reached by the patient or family. We respect the spiritual and cultural traditions of the diverse population and patients we serve, along with their rights on this and all other issues. Tidewell's Spiritual Services are available to patients in whatever capacity the patient and family choose.

Our Spiritual Services chaplains are an integral part of the interdisciplinary teams that care for patients and their loved ones. They are specially trained in understanding issues of mortality and support patients and their families with the emotional and spiritual needs of people at the end of life. Chaplains help patients and families process beliefs, values and life meaning. They assist with logistics for patient rites and rituals and help plan funerals. They can interrelate with your pastor, priest or rabbi, or help connect you with a spiritual leader of your faith. Our Spiritual Services chaplains are here to walk with you during the most challenging of times.
