Faith Leader and Community Relations

David Carl, Executive Director, Spiritual Care and Education, CPE Faculty

The policy of the Spiritual Care Department to meet the spiritual, cultural and emotional needs of patients and family members. Spiritual needs are assessed by members of the Spiritual Care Department, consisting of Staff Chaplains and Spiritual Care Associates studying within the Spiritual Care Department. We do not take the place of the patient's faith leader. Hence we welcome you here to visit your congregants. At the same time we ask that you please not visit other patients and family who would be vulnerable to proselytization.

Welcome
The Chaplain's office is here to help with any needs you might have while visiting patients and families. We highly encourage local faith leaders to visit members of their faith community. You can call the Chaplain's office to request patient room information at 704-355-2218. Also, we are able to notify you about any recent newly admitted members by their requests and with their permission.

• Orientation: Before visiting any patients we ask that you stop by the Chaplain's office to register for a clergy badge and receive a brief orientation.
• Clergy Badge: Upon completing your registration paperwork you will be escorted to the ID Badge office to receive your clergy badge. Be sure to make your badge visible while on Atrium Health property.
• Parking: Clergy parking is located at Lot B, outside the main entrance to the hospital. Your ID Badge will give you access to the lot.
• Clergy Reception Room: The Clergy Reception Room is to be used only by clergy and religious leaders. Patients and/or family members are not permitted. You will be given badge access to the door. Feel free to grab a drink, a snack, use the phone and computer. We do offer Wi-Fi access at the Hospital. Please check the bulletin board for upcoming events and/or information.
