Getting Settled

 

Patient Stay & Recovery
If your hospitalization requires that you stay overnight at the hospital, you will be cared for in the Medical/Surgical Unit (Med/Surg).

 

This is a post-operative care unit designed to accommodate your needs during your stay. All of our rooms are single patient suites, and we always have experienced and caring nurses available to help you.

 

Also, if necessary, we will provide physical therapy directly to your room to aid you in your recovery process. Med/Surg also supports an open door policy. If you have any concerns regarding your care, our department head will happily visit your room to discuss them.

 

Meals
During your stay, you will be visited by a dietician that will help plan your meals. Your diet, like the medications, treatment, and diagnostic tests prescribed by your doctor, is an important part of your treatment. Your doctor will order a specific diet during your stay. For this reason, no food should be brought in from outside the hospital or from the Paragon Café without approval.

 

If you have any questions about your diet, please, check with your doctor or nurse. The hospital dietician will also be happy to instruct you about the details of your diet as a medical treatment. We are proud of our dietary department and our fine food, but your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
