Cancer Care
Spiritual Care Services

St. Luke’s MSTI chaplains understand that spirituality can be a great source of strength, connection, hope, and meaning as you and your family cope with cancer and its impact on your lives.

We offer listening and guidance at any time during your diagnosis and treatment, regardless of your spiritual or religious beliefs. We invite you to share your personal story, faith issues, and
ethical concerns. We can also help with other challenges you may face as you receive care at
St. Luke’s MSTI.

We can help you in a variety of ways:

• Providing emotional and spiritual support
• Sharing problems, concerns, fears, and questions
• Giving a blessing or special prayer at critical moments during your treatment
• Providing prayer, sacred readings, sacraments, and devotional materials
• Providing guidance and support with difficult decisions or ethical matters
• Contacting community clergy or your spiritual guide, at your request
• Providing caring presence, and a reminder of the Holy and God’s love

How to Reach Us
If you would like to talk with a chaplain, please ask any member of the St. Luke’s MSTI staff. Chaplains are available throughout the week at the various clinic sites.

A chaplain can meet you when you are coming for other appointments, for prayer or connection at the time of treatment, or for a private visit at a time that works for you. We can also talk with you by phone.

To request a chaplain visit, please call the St. Luke’s MSTI switchboard operator
at (208) 381-2711.

Chapel Services
Our hospital chapel is located on the first floor of St. Luke's Boise Medical Center. It is an oasis of peace and prayer and is always available to patients, families and support persons, and staff. Come whenever you need a quiet place to think, pray, or cry; or come simply to enjoy its beauty and rest in God's presence.

St. Luke's Magic Valley and St. Luke's Meridian also have peaceful, beautiful chapels on site.
