Our Team Approach to Inpatient Medical Services

Your comfort matters to us. Each patient enjoys a private room designed to promote rest, healing, and privacy. Our nursing staff will introduce you to your room’s amenities and ensure you have everything you need during your stay. From comfortable furnishings to a private bath, our inpatient rooms are created to feel as welcoming and supportive as possible.

Nutritious, well-balanced meals play a key role in your recovery. Our Nutrition Services team carefully plans menus to support your health and healing throughout your inpatient hospital stay. We provide fresh, high-quality meals each day and are happy to accommodate dietary needs whenever possible.

Lunch is at noon, and dinner is served from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Guests can request a meal tray for $5.00 or visit the Bistro in our lobby, which is open daily from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm and offers free coffee, tea, and water. Breakfast is available from 7:30 am to 9:00 am, and lunch is from 11:30 am to 1:10 pm. Visitors can enjoy lunch in the dining room; please ask the cashier for prices.

To make your inpatient stay smooth and comfortable, please bring your health insurance card, photo identification, and any medications your doctor has prescribed. If you expect to stay overnight, you may also want to pack personal items such as reading materials or small comfort items from home to help you relax during recovery.

For your safety, we recommend leaving valuables such as jewelry, large sums of money, or sentimental items at home. Our inpatient facility cannot be responsible for lost or damaged belongings, so please bring only the essentials you need during your hospital stay.

A private telephone is available upon request. The private telephone number will be displayed on the information board in your room for friends and family to reach out directly to the patient's room. To ensure patient safety, a patient code will be required for all individuals calling the nurses station requesting information about their hospitalized loved one. The nursing staff will provide the individualized code to the patient who then can distribute the code as desired.

To make local calls, simply dial 9 followed by the number. For long-distance calls, please use your cell phone.

We have equipped each room with a color television. The television remote control is in combination with the nurse call light device. Also provided in all rooms is a DVD player. Please feel free to ask the staff to assist you with using the DVD player at any time.

(Please note that visitors may be restricted or limited due to medical condition or patient request)

Visitors are an important part of healing, and we do our best to accommodate your loved ones. General visiting hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., though exceptions can be made as needed. Please speak with our nursing team for special arrangements.

An adult visitor may stay overnight with the patient when appropriate. However, children and dependent adults may not spend the night for safety reasons. Additional overnight requests must be approved by the Director of Nursing.

Parents are encouraged to stay involved in their child’s care, as your presence and comfort can make a significant difference during recovery. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and should never be left unattended.

Leaving the hospital is an important part of the healing process, and our care team is dedicated to making your transition as smooth and safe as possible. Before discharge, we’ll review your treatment plan, medications, and follow-up care to ensure you feel confident continuing your recovery at home or in another care setting.

For patients who need more time to regain strength or mobility before returning home, Wilson Medical Center offers a Swing Bed Level of Care — a specialized inpatient recovery service designed to bridge the gap between hospital treatment and home care. This program provides continued skilled nursing, therapy, and rehabilitation within the comfort and familiarity of our hospital environment.

Our discharge planning and inpatient recovery services are designed with your long-term health in mind. From coordination with your primary physician to guidance on medications and home care, we’re here to support every step of your recovery journey.
