A professional Chaplain Service will increase the effectiveness and success of your organization. Healthcare professionals agree that the best healthcare plans aspire to treat the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Most organizations do an excellent job meeting the social, mental, and healthcare aspects of a patient’s or resident’s life. However, there are times when the caretaker will sense there is a spiritual need present that they cannot or might not feel qualified to address.

This is where Good Samaritan Chaplain Services can enhance and strengthen your organization. We incorporate professional spiritual care services into your array of available services and provide a more holistic approach to its healthcare practices. As professionally trained clergy, our chaplains connect with patients and residents on a spiritual level by providing personal spiritual care services such as visitation, encouragement, prayer, liturgy, sacraments and the reading of scripture.

Local clergy and volunteers play an important role in caring for patients and residents. As a matter of fact, Good Samaritan Chaplain Services often collaborates with them to enhance their service to the client.

Nevertheless, church volunteers as well as local clergy have their natural limitations. It is understandably difficult for many of them to commit to the regular personal spiritual care of patients and residents, since many of these volunteers have their own jobs, families and churches to consider. Also, many volunteers or local clergy frequently offer their assistance based on a personal connection such as a friend, relative, or a church member who happens to be a patient or resident of a specific facility. However, once that connection is lost often so too is the volunteer service.

As a result many healthcare organizations feel like they are constantly trying to retain volunteers or recruit new ones. At the same time, they struggle to maintain an effective level of spiritual care, which positively reinforces the patient’s or resident’s healthcare plan.

Good Samaritan Chaplain Services guarantees a dedicated, consistent and professional level of spiritual care service to all of our clients, their patients or residents. Our chaplains, as stipulated in the client’s contract, will be there on a weekly basis as a part of your interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals providing a consistent level of spiritual care.
