Spiritual Care Departments: What the 2025 CHA/NACC Survey Shows

Building on the conversation held earlier this year, the Catholic Health Association (CHA) and the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC) invite you to join us for a deeper dive into the findings from Part Two of the 2025 Spiritual Care Survey. Conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), this national study provides new insight into how spiritual care is supported and lived out across Catholic health ministries in the United States. 

Spiritual care is central to our Catholic identity, and the survey offers a clearer understanding of the roles and responsibilities of chaplains and pastoral/spiritual care personnel at all levels.
