     Our chapel, open at all times, is located on the main floor just past the double doors leading to the patient rooms (near the cafeteria). Our chaplains are members of the Mooresville Ministerial Association and come from a variety of faiths. Each of our chaplains understands the concerns and apprehensions people may have during their hospital stay and can help you with your spiritual needs. Religious services such as communion are also available. If you would like to speak with a chaplain, just tell your nurse (or complete the request form provided in your room and give it to your nurse) or social worker. They will be happy to help you arrange a visit.

     Healthy living is what Kendrick Memorial Hospital is all about. Our goal is to help our patients, employees and physicians lead healthy, happy lives. Since smoking is the chief cause of preventable death in America today, it's just not compatible with our goal. That's why Kendrick Memorial Hospital is a totally smoke-free facility. Our smoke-free policy prohibits smoking inside the hospital and on hospital grounds. Your cooperation and support is appreciated.

     Recovering from major surgery or illness can be a difficult journey, emotionally as well as physically. Our social services department can help. Talking with a social worker may help you learn to cope mote easily with the recovery process. These professionals are educated and skilled in helping you deal with the feelings and difficult emotions you may experience during a hospital stay. Social services representatives can assist you throughout your stay in the hospital and in your discharge planning. Our social services department works with you, your family and outside agencies to assure your discharge goes smoothly and that you have all the resources you need to continue your recovery and therapy at home. At any time during your hospital stay, you may request to see a social worker.

     Following surgery, patients are escorted to a recovery unit called the P.A.C.U. (Post Anesthesia Care Unit). During their stay in this highly specialized unit, it is important that patients receive a great deal of rest and closely monitored care. Therefore, we ask that you call the P.A.C.U. prior to entering the unit to visit a patient. The phone number for the unit is located on the phone desk in the waiting room. The P.A.C.U. nurses will atlvise you of the appropriate time for your visit, the length of the visit and the number of visitors which the patient may receive. It is for the well-being and privacy of all our patients that we request you observe this policy.

     Payment for television service is to be made to the switchboard operator (near the admitting desk) when you are released from the hospital. If you plan to pay for these services by check, please note that you will need to make a separate check for each service.

     Telephone services are $ .50 per day. Long distance calls may not be charged to your roorn. If you would like to place a long distance call, contact the switchbourd operator for assistance (Dial 0). To place a local call from a patient room, dial 8 befbre the seven digit number. Visitors may use the pay phones located in the main waiting room, professional building vending area or by the vending area near the cafeteria.

     Always call before your visit. This gives the patient time to prepare and sometimes freshen up before you arrive. Knock on the patient's door and wait for an invitation before entering. If you would normally shake hands or hug. do so. Warm feelings work wonders for someone in the hospital. They can make you feel better, too! If the person you are visiting feels well enough, check with a nurse to see if the patient is able to take a walk or a ride in a wheelchair. A change of scenery can be refreshing.

     Visiting hours are from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Kendrick Memorial Hospital allows individuals of all ages to visit patients. Any extension of visiting hours must he approved by the nurses at the nurses station.

     Kendrick Memorial Hospital volunteers are an integral part of daily operations. They generously givetheir time and talents to help make your stay as pleasant as possible. Our volunteers wear cheerful pink smocks and serve as sources of information. They can be found in our surgical waiting rooms and the admitting department as well as throughout the center.
