Spiritual Care and
Education

Chaplains are available for spiritual and emotional support any time you need us. At Houston Methodist Hospital we have a chaplain in house 24 hours a day.

 

Located in Dunn Tower, room 102, the Department of Spiritual Care and Education is staffed by clergy representing many different denominations and is committed to inclusive spiritual care for patients, families and staff, delivered with compassion and respect for human dignity. 

 

If you would like a visit from a chaplain, please contact us at 713.441.2381. After hours, on weekends and on holidays, an on-call chaplain may be paged by calling 713.790.2201. You may also dial "0" on any hospital telephone and ask for the chaplain. 

The Department of Spiritual Care and Education offers clinical pastoral education (CPE), residency, extended programs and supervisory CPE, all accredited by the ACPE, Inc.
