Telephone System
Here’s how our telephone system works. Family and friends can dial directly to all patient rooms, except Intensive Care areas. Your direct dial number is listed on your phone. There’s no need to go through the hospital operator.
Local calls are free. Just press “9” and dial the number. You are responsible for long distance calls.
To make a long distance call, press “9”, then “1”, the area code and the number you are calling. The operator will ask you for your method of payment (collect or credit card) and will connect your call.
Additionally, the hospital provides interpreters for non-English speaking patients at no cost to you.
A sign language interpreter and Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDD) are also available for the hearing impaired at no cost. A patient representative or nurse will arrange this service for you.
For calls made from inside the building to hospital departments, you only have to dial a four-number extension.
For after hours assistance, dial “0” or ask your nurse.
