Alamance Regional’s Pastoral Care and Counseling Department offers care to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of patients, families and staff. Chaplains are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our staff chaplains are supported by the presence of clinical pastoral education students and ministers from the community who volunteer as chaplains.

A chapel is located on the second floor, between the surgical waiting area and patient units. It is available for personal and small group meditation. Worship services are held in conjunction with religious holidays and for special observances.

Advance Directives
Chaplains at Alamance Regional provide education about completing Advance Directives, and we facilitate the completion of Advance Directives with patients and their families. To speak to a chaplain about Advance Directives, please call 336-538-7475 or ask your nurse to page the chaplain on call.
