WHEN YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL

We always feel terrible when we hear that one of us has been in the hospital and we weren’t aware of that.

Because of the Privacy Act, the hospital, surgery center, and rehabilitation center do not inform churches of patients who have been admitted unless the patient has specifically told the hospital chaplain to let the church know.  If you are hospitalized, or know that you will be hospitalized, please call the church office or ask a family member of friend to call, so that you can be remembered in prayers and visits.
