Bay Area Medical Center believes that total patient care requires attention to the spiritual and emotional, as well as physical needs, of each patient. The Chaplain at BAMC can be reached during regular office hours - Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. - by calling (715) 735-4200, ext. 3369. At other times, his pager telephone number is 732-3314.

The pastoral care department assists patients and family members in times of crisis. Trained in medical ethics issues with patients, doctors, family members and staff, the BAMC Chaplain also acts as liaison with local clergy, informing them when their parishioners have been hospitalized. Bay Area Medical Center has a non-denominational chapel, located on the second floor near the patient rooms, where anyone can visit for quiet meditation, prayer or reflection. BAMC also hosts a quarterly memorial service for friends and family members of those who have passed away at the hospital.
