- Chaplains are clergy with expertise in the spiritual needs of children, families, and staff in a hospital setting.
- Chaplains may celebrate baptisms and other rites important to a patient's faith.
- Chaplains also provide bereavement support, conduct funerals, and conduct memorial services.
- Our chaplains work closely with our social work teams to ensure the best care for your family.

Faithful Friends Program at ACH
Faithful Friends was established at ACH in order for us to ensure that newly admitted patients and their families are aware of the availability of spiritual support, whether they physically see a member of Pastoral Care or not. This program allows trained volunteers to deliver new, soft stuffed animals ("Faithful Friends") and the colorful storybook, Fuzzy Bunny, A Faithful Friend, to children newly admitted to ACH units such as Medical/Surgical, Infant Toddler, Intermediate Care, and Neurology. Patients and families will learn that their Faithful Friend comes to them with love from people they have never met who are thinking of and praying for them - a tangible symbol of God's healing presence.
These Friends are often tucked next to patients who are going into surgery, held next to the hearts of anxious family members who are waiting for news, kissed by injured children waiting for families to arrive at the hospital, and loved by siblings feeling detached from their brother or sister.
