The Central Florida Health Alliance Spiritual Care Services
team provides emotional and spiritual support to patients, their
families, and team members at both Leesburg Regional Medical
Center and The Villages Hospital 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
A healthcare chaplain is an integral member of the healthcare
team, making daily rounds and providing objective crisis intervention
and competent spiritual support. Our chaplains visit all newly
admitted patients, including those in critical care areas and
any patients who request a visit. Our Spiritual Care Services
team also services as liaisons with local community ministers.
Chapels are located on the first floor at Leesburg Regional
Medical Center’s South Campus and North Campus as well
as next to the first floor lobby at The Villages Regional
Hospital.
