Pastoral Care Spiritual care is an important part of your healing. The interfaith chapel is located between the Respiratory and Emergency departments. The chapel is open 24 hours a day for patients and visitors of all faiths. If you are hearing or vision impaired, or if English is not your first language, interpreters will be provided to assist you. Translation and/or transcription of important hospital forms, instructions, and information will be provided to you if you feel you need them. Medications If you brought any medications into the hospital, they should be given to the nurse so that they can be identified by the pharmacist, reviewed in consideration of your admitting diagnosis for present needs, and returned to a family member or stored until your departure. If the medications are not picked up prior to discharge, the person returning to pick them up should bring a valid picture form of identification. Medications that are not picked up after 3 months from your discharge date will be scheduled for destruction.
