Spiritual Care 

The Spiritual Care Department is committed to providing integrated and holistic health care to patients and their families. Spiritual care strives to pay equal attention to all aspects of a patient’s life including their physical, spiritual, social and cultural well-being. This is a reflection of the World Health Organization’s position that health is more than just the absence of disease and that treating a person’s body is only one part of complete healthcare. Spiritual Care is part of the continuum of care that is provided in health organizations. The goal is that such care has a visible and integral place in the accreditation process of Accreditation Canada. Spiritual care operates within a multi-cultural and multi-faith framework and is respectful of individual differences of faith and denominations. Our Spiritual Care staff provide a connection for patients to their faith in a way that is meaningful to them and helps them to better understand and cope with their illness.

The Spiritual Care Department is staffed with a full-time director and volunteers. The Spiritual Care Department Office, located in the Herb Bassett Home, can be reached by calling 306-765-6005.

The department is also able to provide 24-hour, on-call service through the committed efforts of local Clergy within the community. On-call Chaplains can be reached after hours and weekends by calling 960-4638.
