Community
Cincinnati Children’s Center for Spiritual and Grief Care has provided emotional and spiritual support to the hospital community since its inception in 1883 and has ensured that people of all spiritual beliefs and religions feel welcome, safe, valued and respected. The Chapel of the Holy Child has stood at the center of providing that support since 1904.
The Multifaith Chapel in Location A provides space for quiet reflection and meditation. Chaplains work as part of the pediatric healthcare team and are available 24 hours a day to patients, families and employees. Cincinnati Children's has provided clinical pastoral education training since 1988 and in 2005 created a dedicated bereavement coordinator position to improve our approach to the end-of-life process.
