Welcome to Pastoral Care at UAB Medicine

How can we serve you?

We care for the whole person–body, mind, and spirit at UAB Hospital, UAB Highlands, or The Kirklin Clinic.

As professional Chaplains, we offer care and compassion to you regardless of your faith background. Listening and walking alongside you in your journey while you are our guest is what we do best. We nurture and pay attention to your inner resources that can provide hope, meaning, and healing even in the most challenging of times.

We believe the future of chaplaincy in healthcare is for us to care for persons in the hospital, in the outpatient clinic, as well as to teach friends, neighbors, and faith communities how to support you at home through Support Teams.
