Care of the human spirit is critical to health. It is the work of our entire staff. Chaplains, however, are specialists, trained in human understanding, pastoral counseling, religious and cultural traditions. They are available to all patients and loved ones to provide a listening presence, guidance in mindfulness and prayer, support through decision-making, and help finding purpose.
We have two full-time chaplains, Julien Olivier, DMin, and Michele Guest Lowery, MDiv, who are both board certified. A third chaplain, Karin Wetmore, MDiv, PhD, is available on a part-time basis.
Hospital chaplains are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:00pm.
To contact a chaplain, call (603) 740-2824 or ask a staff person to call.
