Admitting
It is our policy to admit patients, assign accommodations and provide treatment without regard to race, color, national origin, or religious creed. We make every effort to provide you with the accommodations you request. However, if we are unable to fill your request at the time of admission or if you would like to transfer to another room during your stay, please tell your nurse. Arrangements will be made to honor your request as your preferred accommodations become available.
If you are unable to provide or verify your Medicare or other insurance information upon admission, please ask a family member or close friend to bring your insurance cards to the Admitting Office. This information will ensure prompt processing of your business records.
