Volunteer Chaplains and UPMC Kane Chapel
UPMC Kane recognizes the importance of spiritual needs in patient care and family support. Local pastors and chaplains provide on call care 24/7 for crisis situations, emergency needs, and end-of-life and terminal care situations that may arise in any of our patient care units.
If you wish to talk with a pastor or chaplain, please let our staff know. Our chapel is available 24/7 and is located on the first floor, a few doors from the ICU. You may leave a prayer request in the chapel.
Volunteer chaplains also provide care and services to staff via annual “Blessing of the Hands” and special services throughout the year.

Gardens are located to the right of the emergency room and outpatient entrance to the hospital. Patients and visitors are welcomed to enjoy the serenity and beauty of this space.

Some people may need additional help to enable them to leave the hospital once their treatment is complete. Identification of discharge needs begins upon admission in the form of discharge planning. Discharge planning continues throughout the hospital stay as needs are identified and care is planned to meet those needs.
