Northern Chaplain Services provides a wide range of support services.
Each day, the Chaplain Department receives electronic consults generated by staff at a patient’s admission. When the Chaplain arrives for a visit, they validate the request, and explain their role of support as a partner with the interdisciplinary healthcare team. In addition, Chaplains provide support services for the following cases:
Inpatient Medical Crisis
Emergency Room Crisis
Ethical/Moral Decision Support
Family and Friend Crisis/Grief
Medical Staff Post-Crisis Support
24/7 On-call Medical Emergency
Spiritual/Religious Distress
Pet Therapy with Bear!

In 2010, Bear received his 500hrs Recognition Badge for his volunteer services to patients!
