Chaplain Services
The Bronx VA Chaplain Service is a vital part of the VA Medical Center, dedicated to providing the highest quality pastoral care to the veteran. Chaplains are on call 24/7. The mission of Chaplain Service is to provide spiritual/religious care to all Veterans and their family members. Our Chaplains provide complete religious ministry to all people of all faiths and our veteran patients are administered to in accordance with their needs and desires. Chaplains address the religious, spiritual, moral, and ethical problems of patients, as well as the families concerned.
Spiritual and religious services
Our chaplains help patients and family members through outpatient treatment, hospital stays, and extended care. If needed, they will contact your personal clergy or spiritual care provider in the community. Our chaplains are clinical pastoral care specialists who provide religious and non-religious people with services such as:
- Baptisms
- Bereavement (grief and loss) care
