Performance Chaplaincy Program
At Performance Ortho, our mission is simple but profound: to transform lives with love. That love shows up in many forms—through expert medical care, compassionate service, and perhaps most uniquely, through our Performance Chaplaincy Program.
We believe that healing is not solely physical. Pain, recovery, and wellness are deeply connected to emotional and spiritual well-being. That’s why we’ve made a bold commitment: to care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
A Ministry: Performance Ortho
The Performance Chaplaincy Program is a free resource available to our patients (past and present) as well as our staff. It’s not a clinical service—it’s a ministry. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relational struggles, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here to walk with you through it all.
There is no cost. No agenda. Just genuine care from someone who understands the intersection of physical pain and emotional struggle.
