Loan Beeper Service

Visitors with a critically ill family member or a child in pediatrics may check out one of our beepers.

A refundable deposit fee of $20 is required for this service.

Pastoral Care

A time of illness can be very trying for family or members and friends.

If you would like a chaplain to visit with you, please tell the nurse or call the operator.
