Responsibilities:

A Chaplain's role in a hospital setting is to provide spiritual and emotional support for patients and their families. They are not nurses or doctors, so they do not offer medical care.

Hospital chaplains are trained to listen and provide support without judgment. They can help patients and families process their feelings, make decisions, find hope, and cope with loss. Chaplains also provide support for hospital staff. They often lead prayer groups and offer comfort to those who have lost a patient.
