Chaplaincy Program
The RRH Chaplaincy Program is a volunteer program consisting of chaplains and lay ministers from our community. Their purpose is to minister to the spiritual needs of our patients, families, and staff of RRH. RRH has a beautiful chapel that is open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week if you would like to spend some time reading, praying, meditating, etc. The chapel is located just off the main lobby, to the immediate left when you enter the front door of the lobby. (Inside the door to the right of the pay phone.) Please ask our greeter in the front lobby, or any RRH staff member, for directions and feel free to visit the chapel at any time.
