At Calvary Health Care Kogarah, we understand that a patient is more than just their diagnosis and symptoms. Our Pastoral Care professionals specialise in caring for the emotional and spiritual needs of patients, families and staff in our hospital. Pastoral Care work closely with doctors, nurses, allied health and other staff. Pastoral Care is part of Calvary Health Care Kogarah’s comprehensive approach to care.
What if I’m not religious? Spirituality is more than just religion. Spirituality is at the core of every person – that part of us which gives our life meaning and connection. Some people express their spirituality through religion. Others may find meaning and purpose through nature, the arts or their relationships and community groups.
