Comforting the ill
Visiting the sick is the practice of calling on people who are ill or hospitalized, considered a duty or act of charity in many religious and cultural traditions.
It's one of the corporal works of mercy in Christianity and a mitzvah in Judaism.
The phrase often appears in discussions of communal obligation: The church organized a schedule for visiting the sick.
