Patient Messages and Prayer Requests
If you’re unable to visit a Riverview Health patient in person, you’re encouraged to send a message using the form on this page. Your message will be printed and hand-delivered by a Riverview Health volunteer.
Messages are delivered to patients between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Any messages submitted after 4 p.m., or on a holiday or weekend, will be delivered the following business day.
Please note patients can’t reply to messages sent via this form. Messages sent after a patient is discharged are securely discarded.
Chaplaincy Services & Submit a Prayer Request
Our chaplain and chaplaincy volunteers are happy to pray for your loved one. Please use the form on this page to submit a prayer request.
Our chaplain may also be reached by phone at 317.776.7391 or dhansen@riverview.org.
How Message Delivery Works
Every message travels a short, personal route: you submit the form below, a Riverview Health volunteer prints it, and it is carried by hand to the patient's room. To help your note arrive quickly:
- Choose the right request type — a patient message for room delivery or a prayer request for the chaplain.
- Give the patient's full name, and include the room number whenever you know it so the volunteer can find the room without delay.
- Send before 4 p.m. on a weekday if you'd like same-day delivery; later submissions arrive the next business day.
Prefer to visit in person? Check current visiting hours and entrance times on our visitor information page, or brighten a stay with flowers or a gift delivered to the room by Carolyn's Corner gift shop.
