Provide Virtual Chaplaincy Services to Your Patients.

On demand. Every day.

Who We Are

Chappy is a program of the Spiritual Care Association, a trusted provider of virtual chaplaincy services, helping healthcare institutions deliver spiritual care seamlessly and efficiently. Our team of board-certified chaplains offers compassionate support to patients and caregivers across the country and internationally.

We support patients, families, caregivers and staff, irrespective of their faith tradition or spirituality, who experience spiritual, emotional, existential or moral distress or who want support and compassionate caring to promote resilience and health.

Chappy is designed to supplement professional on-site chaplains during off-hours, weekends, or other gaps in service. It is not a substitute for on-site chaplains, which is always the best practice. We all recognize that patients experience shorter stays in healthcare facilities. Chappy is a perfect clinical care service for in-home recovery and palliative care. Chappy is also strategically designed for assisted living, rehab centers, chemotherapy centers, dialysis centers, and home care.
