Spiritual Care Services
Our chaplains and volunteers in the Department of Spiritual Care offer compassionate, inclusive, and respectful support to patients, visitors, and staff members at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. We are here to listen to and support any and all spiritual paths and faith traditions.
If hospitalizations, illnesses, or life-changing events have affected your sense of meaning and hope, we are ready to help. We can support you and guide you on your spiritual journey. Our mission is to treat each person as we would treat a member of our own families.
Contact Us
There are a variety of reasons why you or a family member might want to contact a chaplain. We are available Monday through Friday as well as some weekend hours. You can reach a chaplain by:
- Calling us at 617-243-6634 from outside the hospital or at extension 6634 from a hospital phone
- Telling a member of your care team that you would like to speak with a chaplain
If we do not immediately respond to your call, please leave a message, and a chaplain will get back to you as soon as possible.

Drop-in meditation is at noon and 12:30 p.m. weekdays in the Interfaith Prayer Room. Our chaplains have compiled a list of multifaith prayers that can be helpful.
