Our Chaplains And Volunteers Are Available For Counseling And Support 24 Hours A Day, Seven Days A Week

At McLeod Dillon, our chaplains and volunteers are an important part of our healing ministry; and are recognized as a part of the hospital service team.  Of course, one's personal pastor may also visit. The ministries of our volunteer chaplains are not forced upon anyone but are offered and made available to all who request them.
