Pastoral Care
Chaplain Jackie Ward
Director of Pastoral Care |
Our chaplains provide spiritual counsel, Bible studies, worship services and support. They share the daily joys and assist our residents, their families and staff as they cope with illness, loneliness, loss and grief.
According to recent studies, 83 percent of Americans believe in the healing power of prayer. Despite all of our medical, technological, and economic advances, many individuals continue to overlook or misunderstand their spiritual dimension. We understand that each person is created in the image of God and we are here to help promote spiritual well-being.
Spiritual well-being is a dimension that underscores and gives meaning to all aspects of life and brings wholeness and health to our total being. The positive effects of an active spiritual life include: less physical illness and depression, lower mortality rates and a reduction in risky health-related behaviors.
Please call on me or one of our chaplains if we can ever be of help to you.
Sincerely,
Jackie Ward
Director of Pastoral Care
