Sanctuaries

If  you need a quiet place to reflect, pray or meditate, we offer three dedicated spaces on our main campus.

Located next to the main lobby entrance, Bell Sanctuary offers patients and their families, physicians, staff and community members a place to pray, worship, meditate or simply have a moment of silence. The interfaith space includes a prayer wall where anyone can share a prayer request and niches displaying religious icons from many faith traditions. Separate is the Respite Room, which is located across the hall for families to gather privately.

The sanctuary is available 24/7, and the Respite Room can be requested through the spiritual care team.

Located on Level One of Cambridge Tower A, the Bob and Emily Honse Chapel is open to all patients, staff and guests. Described as a "place of peace, hope and healing," the interfaith chapel features a prayer wall and an open space where anyone can gather to reflect.

Located on the first floor of the University of Kansas Medical Center's campus, off of Wescoe Pavilion, Spencer Chapel is available for anyone to use as a place to pray. The chapel also regularly hosts Catholic Mass.

For religious service times and locations,
