At any time during your admission, you can ask for moral or spiritual assistance. Please speak to the nursing staff to do so.
The hospital has its own chaplaincy service and a team of moral counselors for non-religious assistance. In addition, the hospital has a network of representatives of other faiths. You can also specify a specific person to assist you morally or spiritually yourself. To do so, fill in the name and phone number on the moral, religious and philosophical assistance statement (544.79 KB) "pdf".
You can also explicitly let us know that you do not want any assistance. By the way, it is not obligatory to fill out the statement. You can also change your mind at any time.
If you’d like to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the hospital, you’re always welcome to visit the quiet room, the comfort garden or the chapel.
