Representing diverse faiths, our chaplains provide spiritual care to Fairview

Specialized Programs
To meet our patients's and families' needs throughout the Fairview we offer:
Fairview Clinical Pastoral Education Center
Fairview Clinical Pastoral Education Center, first accredited in 1960, prepares
students of all beliefs for care ministry. We were the first center in the Midwest to
