Chapel and Worship 
The Interfaith Chapel
The Chapel is located next to the Chaplains' Office, Room 1604, off the first floor main lobby of the hospital, near the East Elevators. The Chapel is open 24 hours a day. It is an Interfaith Chapel, designed for use by people of any religion/faith group. Inside the door of the Chapel is a literature rack in which we keep a Bible, booklets of Sacred Prayers and Readings, daily devotional readings and Prayer Cards-- both are available in Spanish, English and Braille editions-- and other literature.
The Sunday Worship Service
The Sunday service is interfaith in nature and begins at 10:00 am and lasts until 10:30. This service is open to all -- patients, their families, hospital staff. Persons attending this service should feel free to dress informally - bathrobes, etc. Any patient wishing to attend this  service should check with the chaplain or his/her nurse before leaving the unit.
Friday Prayer Service
In addition to the Sunday service, we hold a Service of Prayer for the hospital community--patients, families and staff--every Friday beginning at 12:00 and lasting until about 12:20 pm.
