Hospital visitation is an integral aspect of being a pastor – or of anyone who is very active in ministering to others, for that matter. Pastors Stone and Wolvin reiterate some practical points of making hospital visits.

* Identify yourself before going into the room
* Show compassion and concern
* Bring printed materials with you
* Take time to speak to others

“People will always remember the visits you make…as well as the visits you don’t make.”
