hospital chapel
Ward-adjacent worship space
A hospital chapel is a small room or space within a hospital set aside for prayer, meditation, or religious services.
These spaces typically serve patients, families, and staff of all faiths or none, offering a quiet refuge from the clinical environment.
Most are nondenominational, though some hospitals maintain chapels affiliated with their founding religious institutions.
