Spiritual Care

When patients are admitted to Ringgold County Hospital, they will be asked if they would like to have a member of the clergy visit with them. Local ministers are available to visit patients, if desired.

At Ringgold County Hospital, we believe that visitors help in the healing process. Therefore, we have no set visiting hours, although we ask that visitors respect a patient’s need for rest while healing.
