Page introduction
The Bronx VA Chaplain Service is a vital part of the VA Medical Center, dedicated to providing the highest quality pastoral care to the veteran. Chaplains are on call 24/7. The mission of Chaplain Service is to provide spiritual/religious care to all Veterans and their family members.

Our Chaplains provide complete religious ministry to all people of all faiths and our veteran patients are administered to in accordance with their needs and desires. Chaplains address the religious, spiritual, moral, and ethical problems of patients, as well as the families concerned.
