Spiritual Care
Since 2015, the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society has funded a half-time position to attend to the spiritual and emotional needs of patients, their families and all health care staff at the Delta Hospital. This support is available for people of all religious beliefs, and for those without a faith community.
