Participate in your care

We encourage you to participate in your care. Ask questions, let us know what you like, and let us know if you have a concern.

What to expect while you're a patient

• Staff members will wash their hands before examining you. Regular handwashing is the best way to help prevent infections.
• We will double-check your name and wristband before giving you medicine or performing tests and procedures.
• If you are at risk for falling, a staff member will help you in the bathroom, where many hospital falls happen.
• We will check your vital signs around the clock. We promote rest and sleep, but we also need to wake you for check-ups requested by your doctor to assure you're doing well.
