Patient & Family Needs
Missouri Baptist Medical Center offers chaplain and spiritual care visits upon request. Chaplains respond to spiritual needs with sensitivity to culture, ethnicity and religious diversity. Belief systems and denominational requests are always honored. Community clergy and religious leaders may be contacted to help with special requests.

Emotional and spiritual support is available to those who are:
- Feeling discouraged
- Coping with a difficult diagnosis
- Making end-of-life decisions
- Coping with a long-term or chronic illness
- Facing the death of a loved one
- Seeking prayer support
