Personal Items

During your stay, only a few personal items are needed; we will supply the rest! We recommend you or your loved one bring items such as deodorant, toothbrush, shampoo, robe and slippers. If you require glasses or dentures, please be sure to pack them in appropriately labeled storage containers. Electric appliances are not allowed unless they are approved by our Administration Department.

While we do our best to secure our hospital, we strongly suggest you leave valuables at home as we are not responsible for valuables or money kept in your room.

Bedside Care Team Meetings

Recovery takes a team. And the most important member of that team is you!

Throughout your recovery journey, caregivers from all relevant departments will gather at the bedside at least weekly, or more often depending on need, to discuss goals, milestones, treatment, and progress. We invite patients and families to participate in these meetings and make their voices heard. The best care plan is one that you understand and helped create.

Depending on your condition, your interdisciplinary care team may include: 

  • Physicians with specialties in pulmonology, cardiology, infectious disease, etc.
  • Critical care nurses
  • Respiratory therapists
  • Certified wound care coordinators
  • Physical, occupational, or speech therapists
  • Dietitians
  • Pharmacists

These skilled clinicians work together to develop a care plan customized for you and your needs.

List of Standard Charges

This list represents gross charges for individual services and does not reflect personalized estimates of hospital charges that may be applicable based on insurance discounts nor is it indicative of a patient’s out of pocket cost. In addition, several factors may affect pricing, including, but not limited to the time of selection, additional expenses such as laboratory or professional fees, and additional services that depend on an individual’s specific health condition.
