Peveto Center for Spiritual Care

The Peveto Center for Spiritual Care is located at University Hospital near the Main Lobby and is accessible 24/7.

The Center provides two quiet and sacred spaces that may be utilized for contemplation, prayer, meditation, confession and worship. The Center is also the home of the Spiritual Care Department.

The Peveto Spiritual Care Offices are staffed from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Professional chaplains are available 24/7 to assist hospital patients, their family members and hospital staff. A chaplain may be reached by calling 210-743-3300.

Hospital patients, their family members and hospital staff may have spiritual care requests that require ministry of individuals from a specific faith tradition. If such a need arises that cannot be met by our chaplain staff, we will verify the patient’s request and contact outside clergy and/or faith practitioners to address such needs.

Questions regarding use of the Peveto Center and matters related to the Spiritual Care Department should be directed to the Director of Spiritual Care at 210-743-3307.

Clinical Pastoral Education

The University Health Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program provides experiences to individuals seeking to explore what it is to be a spiritual care provider in the context of a dynamic group learning process.

Students might be healthcare providers seeking to gain spiritual care skills, students exploring ministerial call, faith leaders who desire to develop skills, and/or individuals who are preparing for a career in chaplaincy.
