To All New Clergy and Pastoral Visitors:
Welcome to the University of Virginia Health System! We are glad that you stopped by our website. Please take a moment to review the visitation protocols listed on the right side of this page. This information is provided to all clergy and pastoral visitors who register for a visitation badge at the UVa Health System.
The UVa Health System values pastoral and spiritual care as significant elements of the healing process. This value is expressed in a tangible way through the support of our department and the services we provide to patients, families, staff, community clergy, and religious groups in the area. We value you as a contributing member of the healing team. Our mission is to offer patients and families quality care, both directly and through our associations with communities of faith.
As colleagues in ministry, we want to be available to help you in whatever manner you need. Please feel free to call us any time. Our phone number is 434-924-2642. We may also call on you for help with specific faith tradition or denominational requests.
Let me conclude by again welcoming you to UVa, to the health care team, and to our ministry together. May you and your ministry be richly blessed.
