Patients, visitors, and staff are welcome to use the chapels and prayer rooms located across all our hospital sites.
These spaces are open 24 hours a day and are available to people of all faiths, beliefs, and worldviews. They offer a quiet place for personal prayer, reflection, or meditation, and are also used for religious services and belief-specific rituals.
Everyone is invited to use these spaces respectfully, regardless of their background or beliefs.
