The nature and expectation of pastoral responsibility for health care were explored in this study conducted in Somerset County, Penna. Physiological and theological aspects of the processes of healing and wholeness were discussed. In addition nurses were polled concerning their opinions about the pastor's role in health care. The surveys indicated that visiting, worship (prayer and sacraments) and counseling were the most important roles of the pastor in relation to a health crisis. In a post test survey these activities were seen by the laity as a significant part of a person's treatment towards healing. The result was an increased concern for enabling pastors to fulfill their role by both health care professionals and the church.
