The word "chapel" actually means "canopy" or "cape". This definition fits perfectly with what the Schlimm Center will represent to those who visit. Whatever their needs or beliefs, this will be a place of harbor and comfort."

The Schlimm Center for Prayer and Reflection is located on the first floor of the Main Hospital just off the Rotunda. Redesigned and rededicated in January 2007, the Center is a place of peace, where families of all denominations can pray, reflect, meditate and find comfort.
