We are available to talk whenever you need us. Ask your nurse to contact us about:

• Pastoral counseling.
• Crisis care.
• Sacramental ministry and communion.
• Ethical consultation.
• Health Care Directive consultation.
• Eucharistic volunteers. Local Catholic parish volunteers offer Holy Communion to all Catholic patients.

We aim to create an environment that reduces stress and promotes healing. We try to keep it quiet so you can rest, but if you want to move around, you can take the art walk, head to one of the chapels or walk through one of our gardens with water features. There are many locations you can go:

• Traditional chapel on the main floor.
• Multicultural prayer and meditation chapel on the 2^nd floor.
• Meditation garden near the Emergency Department.
• Atrium garden near the conference center.
• Legacy Café patio garden.

Tour our meditation chapels and garden.

St. Francis is a unique learning environment for clinical pastoral education (CPE) interns. We treat each patient as we would our own family.

An 86-bed hospital, St. Francis is designed as an intentional healing environment where a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere is cultivated to aid in patients' healing and to create a positive work environment for staff.

The experience of St. Francis CPE interns includes caring for patients in a variety of medical situations. In addition to the hospital, experiences may also include the Shakopee Women's Correctional Facility and St. Gertrude's Health and Rehabilitation Center.

These are the CPE internships currently offered at St. Francis:

Level 1 CPE Internships

1. Extended unit, September through May, 12.5 hours per week.
2. Spring unit, January through June.
