Chaplain Services
Hospital chaplains representing the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim faiths are available to visit you and your family upon request through the Pastoral Care and Education Department. Chaplains offer pastoral counseling to patients and families needing support. Patients may arrange for visits from other religious advisors.
Holiday services for various faiths are held. Roman Catholic mass is held each Sunday at 11:15a.m. Sacraments and Eucharistic ministers are available daily.
Members of the Lenox Hill Bikur Cholim, Inc. ensure that the religious needs of Orthodox Jewish patients are met. Provision is made for refrigerators, kosher foods, and for nearby accommodations with kosher kitchens for relatives of hospitalized patients.
For assistance with any spiritual matter, call the Pastoral Care and Education Department at (212) 434-2545.
