Spiritual Care

Bhaktivedanta Hospital & Research Institute believes in providing holistic care to their patients and their family members.  We understand that during illness or emergency, life seems to be bewildering and going out of control. Besides physical pain, one deals emotionally with loneliness, insecurity, fear, grief and anxiety. During such testing times, the Spiritual Care team helps people (re)discover hope, resilience, and inner strength -- opening up opportunities to review one's life, accepting and transforming suffering, making an authentic connection with others, solidifying God as the center, and realizing one's own true potential.
