Our Services

Spiritual Care Services

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.
