During Your Stay

 

The nurse call button is located at your bedside and in your bathroom. Please use the call button if you need immediate assistance. For your own safety, always call for assistance before getting out of bed.


Flowers and gifts will be delivered as soon as they arrive. For the health and safety of all patients, flowers and helium balloons are not permitted in cardiac and intensive care units (CCU, ICU, SICU, and NICU). Your family and friends are welcome to send them once you are transferred out of these units.


Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. If you need additional housekeeping service during any portion of your stay, please contact our environmental services team at extension 26788 and we will send assistance.


Members of the hospital team (physicians, nurses, other clinical and support staff, volunteers) wear photo identification badges while they are in the hospital or at off-site hospital locations. Please do not hesitate to ask anyone entering your room for his or her photo identification.


If you do not speak English, or if you have a hearing or speech impairment, you may have interpretation services provided for you at no extra charge.
