We continue to see high patient volumes and ongoing staffing shortages at the hospital. This can make wait times much higher than normal. If you are able, consider an alternate health care option like going to a walk-in clinic or seeing your family doctor/nurse practitioner. Rest assured that if you need care from our emergency department, you will be seen in priority order.

About This Program
Spritual Care offers spiritual and religious support for patients, families, friends and staff at CMH.
Anyone is welcome to speak with the Spritual Care Coordinator (SCC). The SCC and chaplains also make visits to offer spritual care to those who wish.
In addition, the SCC can contact community clergy and faith group leaders on behalf of the patient or family member.
