Patient services and room features

Call a nurse: Your room is connected to the nursing station via an intercom system. To call for your nurse, press the NURSE call button.

Make a phone call: To place a call within the hospital, dial the last four digits. To dial local calls, dial “9” first, then “1” followed by the area code and seven-digit phone number.

Patient meals: Patient meals are delivered at around 8 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. A hostess/host will visit you in your room to assist you with your meal choices. Watch TV: Each patient room has a television. The TV is controlled by the bedside pillow speaker or the side rail controls. Closed captioning is available for the hearing impaired. Ask a staff member if you have any questions. A TV channel guide is available in your room.
