Bayview Medical Center’s Spiritual Care department serves patients, families, and staff across a 400-bed acute care hospital, including oncology, a Level II trauma center, and a 32-bed hospice unit. Our team is interfaith by design: six full-time chaplains, two residents, and a rotating group of per-diem clergy.

Jewish patients are a small share of our census but a consistent one, and we are the referral point for several congregations in the region whose clergy cannot be on site daily. Our chaplains carry a full interfaith caseload alongside that work.
