Palmerston North Hospital Chaplains
Palmerston North Hospital Chaplains provide spiritual support for patients, relatives and hospital staff.
The chaplains' purpose is to enable any person in hospital to deal with spiritual and life issues that directly affect their well-being. They believe a person’s well-being (wholeness) is the result of the interaction between their spiritual, mental, social and physical being.
