Effective January 1, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is requiring hospitals to make standard charges public. CMS issued a final rule on November 15, 2019 that provides the details related to the required information. Hospitals are expected to update this information at least annually or more often as appropriate, to reflect current charges. Note the standard charges provided may not accurately reflect what any given individual is likely to pay for a particular service, as this will be dependent upon your insurance coverage and the terms of the insurance plan. You should check with your insurance coverage to determine if you will have, any out of pocket costs. Note, some charges may be subject to change during the year without notice and the timing of updates may affect the posted charges on this site.

Our hospital discharge time is 11 a.m. Whenever possible, we ask that you make arrangements to leave by this time once you are discharged by the doctor. This time allows us to prepare your room for use by other patients. Our staff can assist you and your family in making arrangements for discharge. If you have questions about your discharge, please ask your doctor or nurse.

The hospital conducts routine safety drills. You may see flashing lights or hear a series of bells or announcements that signal an emergency drill. During these drills, your door may be closed. Please stay in your room unless told otherwise by the nursing staff.

To prevent losing your personal items, please label them and keep them in your bedside stand. These items could get lost if placed in bedding, on food trays or in gown pockets. If you lose something, tell the nursing staff right away. Our security staff will make every effort to find it. If we find an item after you leave, we will contact you to arrange for pick-up or delivery.

To reduce the spread of germs, please do not visit a patient if you have symptoms of a cold, flu or other illness. The patient's bathroom is for the patient's use only. Family and friends should use the public restrooms.

Medical studies have shown that waterless hand gel is the best method to clean hands. At certain times, soap and water can be used. Remind people around you to use hand gel or soap and water to clean their hands.

If flowers arrive for you, they will be brought directly to your room. However, flowers are not allowed in the intensive care units. Flowers and plants received after discharge will be returned to the florist so they can be sent to your home. Latex balloons are not allowed in the hospital because many people are allergic to latex.

For your safety, electrical devices or appliances, including battery chargers and computers, cannot be brought into the intensive care units. In other areas of the hospital, these may be allowed but must be approved by your nurse. The clinical engineering team may need to test some devices or appliances.

Please do not bring valuables, large amounts of cash, personal papers or jewelry.
