Support/Counseling
The diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming for both you and your loved ones. At the Mon Health Cancer Center, we understand the physical and emotional impact cancer can have. Our support and counseling programs can help you cope with the stress you may be feeling and help you through this difficult time.
Pastoral & Spiritual Care
Mon Health Medical Center’s Pastoral and Spiritual Care Department offers support in times of spiritual need. If you wish, the department can also let your faith community or spiritual leader know about your hospitalization or illness. Hospital inpatients may request a visit from the Pastoral and Spiritual Care staff. Just let your nurse know or call
304-598-1952. An Interfaith Chapel is available for prayer or reflection just off the hospital’s main lobby.
