Volunteer Chaplaincy Program

In partnership with area clergy, Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County has created an on-call Chaplain program. At MHSC, we believe it is important to offer spiritual care as a valued added service.

Volunteer Chaplains have a weekly call rotation and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is available to patients and family members.

To be considered for our Volunteer Chaplain Program, applicants must:

• Be ordained
• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Complete and submit an application.
• Be approved for service by the Community Outreach Director and MHSC Lead Chaplain.
• Complete a mandatory orientation.
