Chaplaincy Services

The Avera McKennan Chaplaincy staff is an ecumenical team of priests, sisters, ordained ministers and trained laity who regularly visit patients and families and respond to referrals from the hospital staff.

Our Chaplaincy staff seeks to respect the religious and spiritual beliefs and traditions of all the patients and families we serve. We work in collaboration with the pastors and religious leaders of our patients and will gladly contact your pastor or religious community upon request.

Avera McKennan believes that the care of the whole person is necessary for healing. We pray this is a time of faith. The Chaplaincystaff is available 24 hours a day for your spiritual, religious and pastoral needs. While in the hospital, you can simply ask your nurse for assistance in calling Chaplaincy.
