Chaplaincy at Los Angeles General Medical Center
A witness to God’s love for all people
This ministry is made possible by your support through the Presbyteries of The Pacific, San Gabriel, San Fernando and Los Ranchos and the Synod of Southern California and Hawaii. k
As a part of the Los Angeles General Medical Center's Department of Spiritual Care, the Synod's chaplaincy ministry is guided by the Synod's Consortium of individuals representing each of the supporting Presbyteries:
We are very happy to be able to have your support to continue the 50+ year history of a Presbyterian presence at the main hospital in the Los Angeles/Orange County region.

Planning Ahead
The annual Christmas season distribution of handmade blankets to those who are hospitalized during that time of year is an ongoingproject of the entire Spiritual Care team. Many crafters prefer to work on their blanket project(s) throughout the year as time permits so they can be delivered to the hospital in early December. Please continue to plan for blankets that are handmade and are at least 36" x 36" in size, although 36" x 45" are highly desired as well.
Please Note: Many patients prefer very colorful blankets!
News
The Presbyterian Chaplaincy Consortium is pleased to announce that the Rev. Stephanie Kang is our designated chaplain at the Los Angeles General Medical Center. She is a Board certified chaplain with 8 years of service as a fulltime chaplain and leader at Whittier Hospital. She has done extensive work with local churches and community groups. We look forward to her connecting with colleagues at the site as well as across the region as we hope to not only continue this great work but bring greater awareness amongst the broad membership of the Consortium regarding the significance of this work and the increased needs placed upon it.Our chaplain serves throughout the hospital in all the stages of hope, pain, grief and death. It is a mission that the Presbyteries of Los Ranchos, Pacific, San Fernando and San Gabriel have dedicated to the hospital since 2009 although there has been a Presbyterian chaplaincy there for over 50 years. We are grateful for the support of the presbyteries and the many churches which add personal contributions such as visits and prayer as well as the lap robes and gift baskets for distribution to all the patients at Christmas.
Please keep an eye out for further communication and correspondence from Rev. Kang and the rest of us at the Consortium as we intend to increase awareness about this historic role and critical partnership seeking to unify multiple regional efforts and interests.
We look forward to many more years of continued ministry at the Medical Center.
To God be the glory!
