For more than 10 years, Catholic Health Services of Long Island (CHS), as the health care ministry of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, has touched the lives of more than 740,000 individuals, providing healing and spiritual comfort to those in need.

Each CHS member organization retains its Catholic identity and religious history. Pastoral care services are tied closely to the ability to deliver compassionate care for people from all walks of life and of every religious belief and ethnic group. It is understood that dignity is medicine for the soul, and services that reflect the spirit of our shared humanity and the teachings of the Church are proudly offered.

Catholic Health Services’ staff respects your unique spiritual practices and beliefs. You are invited to call upon the pastoral care staff, whether or not you follow a particular religious tradition. The desire to provide human support and compassion has no boundaries.
The Clinical Pastoral Education and Chaplaincy can be found at www.chaplainsforum.org.
