Ridgecrest Regional Hospital recognizes that for many people, spiritual
care is an important part of getting and staying well. Local clergy serves
as the hospital chaplains and are available 24-hours a day 7-days a week
to meet the spiritual/emotional needs of patients, their families, and
the staff—when desired.
Patients, families, and staff may request a visit by a Chaplain for many reasons.
Our chaplains can provide you with:
Support through anxiety, fear, depression
A listening ear from someone who understands your feelings
Emotional and spiritual support
A partner and guide through prayer
Guidance as you make difficult decisions
Support through the grieving process
Camaraderie during uplifting events such as the birth of a child or recovery
You can request a visit by a chaplain at the time of registration or from
your nurse or physician at any time during your stay at the hospital.
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.
