Singing River Volunteer Chaplain Information

The role of a Singing River chaplain is a vital part of the care we provide, and we deeply value the compassionate presence that chaplains bring to our patients and staff.

Requirements for Volunteer Chaplains

Ordained Minister or Clergy

If you are not ordained, please provide a letter of recommendation from your faith leader. This ensures that each chaplain is supported and recognized by their faith community.

Patient Rounds Commitment

Volunteer chaplains provide a compassionate presence, active listening, and spiritual support to patients, families, and staff. Visits may include prayer, words of encouragement, or simply being a comforting presence. If a patient has deeper spiritual or emotional distress, refer them to the chaplain manager for follow-up care.

On-Call Commitment (Once per Quarter)

Volunteers are asked to cover emergency calls once per quarter from Friday at 4:30 PM to Monday at 8:00 AM. If this is not possible, we ask for flexibility in assisting with emergency calls as needed.

Singing River Policies & HIPAA Compliance

All chaplain volunteers must adhere to HIPAA regulations and follow Singing River policies. Volunteers should check emails regularly for updates on policies, procedures, and spiritual care announcements
