Chaplaincy & Pastoral Education

Mission
To provide spiritual care to patients, families, and staff through assessment, intervention, education, and research.

Vision
To exemplify the highest standards of professional chaplaincy and pastoral education in health care.


For many people, cancer is more than just a disease - it’s a test of faith. At MD Anderson, we know that finding or reaffirming a belief in God or a Higher Power is part of the healing process.

MD Anderson chaplains are here to guide patients on their spiritual journey, whatever path it may take. Chaplains are available at any hour to patients and their family members, with worship services, bedside visits, prayer requests, and support groups.
