Chaplaincy Program
UPMC Somerset is committed to providing pastoral care for patients, their families and staff. Pastoral Care offers educational resources on hospice services, long term care, stress management and Bibles upon request.
UPMC Somerset offers access to a hospital based chaplain, who is not affiliated with a church, but solely dedicated to the ministry of healthcare. The Chaplain is available for general hospital visits, prayer, and administration of the sacraments of baptism, communion and support for terminal illness. If you would like to speak with a chaplain, please tell any staff member or dial the hospital operator. The UPMC Somerset Chaplain does make rounds daily Monday through Friday.
The Chapel is located near the South Center Avenue entrance and is open to the community for prayer and reflection. If you know someone in need of prayer, our chapel offers an anonymous prayer request box for your convenience.
If you prefer to see your own pastor during your hospital visit, UPMC Somerset supports this, and will make every effort to notify your pastor of your hospital stay if you so desire.
