Across St. Luke's network of care, spiritual support is available through our chaplains. They care for you so you can care for those you serve. Your conversations with our chaplains are private and confidential. If you are at risk, they will work with you to get you the help you need. They are skilled in offering group sessions when departments are feeling moral distress, and can also facilitate Critical Incident Stress Debriefings and Code Lavenders for team members who have experienced unusual and significantly distressing events in caring for patients and families.

Find one of the chaplains around the hospital or call 314-542-4748. The Spiritual Care Department's weekday hours are 8:00am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. Chaplains are available 24/7 for sacramental and other spiritual care emergencies by calling the Hospital Operator and asking that the on-call chaplain be paged.
