Spiritual care is an important part of your healthcare. The Baptist Health Pastoral Care Department is available for you whenever you need spiritual or emotional support. Whether it's a birth of a child or the loss of a loved one, our chaplains can provide you the guidance you need during life changing events.

We make rounds among our patients as requested and indicated, not just those in critical conditions. Should you need immediate assistance you can reach the chaplain on-call by contacting the Baptist Medical Center South Pastoral Care office (334) 286-2964, Baptist Medical Center East (334) 213-6265, Prattville Baptist Hospital (334) 361-4319, the hospital operator, (0), or by asking a nurse to contact us.

Each of our facilities has a chaplain on-call. Chaplains include Pastoral Care Director James Williams, Larry Davidson, Larry Layne and Rhon Carleton. These professional and experienced staff are aware and respect that our patients come from different religious backgrounds and traditions. Please, do not hesitate to call upon our staff for assistance.

Along with spiritual support, our chaplains can also provide you with information regarding Advanced Directives - including a living will and health care proxy.
