Akron Hospital

The mission of the Chaplaincy Services Department is to provide a safe space for people to process their emotions and when applicable draw on their spiritual resources to move toward hope, healing and wholeness.

Our chaplains provide emotional and spiritual support for patients, families and staff of all cultures, faiths, and those with no religious preference.  

Chaplains respect individual dignity and privacy and offer a caring presence without imposing religious beliefs.
