Special Services at Hasbro Children's Hospital
Multi-Faith Spiritual Care
Clinically trained health care chaplains can provide a listening presence, offer emotional and spiritual support, assist with ethical decisions, offer prayer and arrange for sacraments or contact local clergy. Multi-faith chaplains work with local clergy and spiritual leaders of all faith traditions to meet the spiritual needs of patients and families.
Our services are designed to accommodate the diversity of faiths and spiritual outlooks that our patients and families bring to the hospital. The spiritual care team can provide services to patients of any faith perspective, spiritual tradition and those with no religious affiliation.
Multi-faith chaplains are available 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, by calling 401-444-4746. Please leave a message. We will respond promptly during weekday hours.
Roman Catholic Spiritual Care
Catholic priests are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hasbro Children’s patients or family members can request the sacrament of Reconciliation, the Anointing of the Sick or Holy Communion by calling 401-444-4627.
In an urgent situation a priest may be contacted through the Call Center by calling 401-444-5108 or pressing 0 from a hospital phone.
Many Catholic patients have found that these sacraments bring peace, healing and consolation. Patients and family members are encouraged to notify their local parishes of their hospital stay.
