Additional Services
Interpreter Services
Patients or family members who need an interpreter to help them communicate with caregivers should ask the staff for help. Many of our staff speak different languages and they will be pleased to assist you. You may also wish to have a family member or friend present when your doctor or specialist visits, to help with communications.
Palliative Care
Palliative Care provides care to meet the diverse physical, psychological, emotional, social, cultural and spiritual needs of individuals with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Families/significant others are welcome to stay with a loved one; cots and chairs are available for your use.
Pastoral Care
On-call local clergy members can be accessed on a 24-hour basis to meet the spiritual needs of both inpatients and outpatients. Your nurse will contact them at your request. And, we would be pleased to assist you in arranging a visit with your own clergyperson.
At SMGH, a small chapel for prayer and solitude, is available on the first floor in the main corridor.
At FCHS a quite room, for prayer and solitude, is available across from the Computer/Resource Area main corridor.
Complaints
The Chief Operating Officer works cooperatively with your healthcare team in an effort to enhance your hospital stay and to resolve any problems that may occur while you are in the hospital.
To promote effective communication during your stay, we suggest issues be addressed directly with the people involved in your care. If there are certain matters that you think require further attention, please contact us.
