Spiritual Health

At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, we recognize the importance of addressing the spiritual and emotional concerns of our patients and their families as part of our comprehensive care approach.

Support for Your Spiritual Well-Being

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be a profound and overwhelming experience for you, your family members, or friends, often causing feelings of fear, loneliness, and questioning of faith or values.

We're Here to Support You

Our Spiritual Health services are here to support you during this challenging time. Whether you need someone to talk to about the impact of your illness or seek guidance on navigating your spiritual journey, our team is here to accompany you.

Our Spiritual Health services include:

In-person or phone support for patients, survivors, family members, and loved ones
Counseling on personal values, beliefs, hopes, and fears
Participation in spirituality groups
Assistance in connecting with religious resources

We are here to provide compassionate support and help you find solace and strength as you navigate your cancer experience at Winship.

During periods when patients are receiving care in one of our Emory Healthcare hospitals, we coordinate with the Spiritual Health team in the hospital to provide continuity of care.
