Care and Counseling

Pastoral Care

Chaplaincy Services of the SHARE Foundation provides spiritual and emotional support to patients, family members, volunteers and employees of the Medical Center of South Arkansas. The Chaplaincy Director is specifically trained to provide a broad range of ministry in the clinical setting.

The services of a Chaplain are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for spiritual care and emotional support during a sudden and severe illness or serious accident.

Chaplains are a caring presence for patients and families who use the services of the Medical Center of South Arkansas. Chaplaincy Services offers comfort and support throughout the hospital stay. The Service is a guide and advocate for families and patients, educating, interpreting and navigating the often uncharted seas of hospitalization and/or terminal illness.

Pastoral Counseling

Spiritual counseling is also available, relating God to such issues as guilt, forgiveness, reconciliation, anger, healing and life after death.
