During Your Stay

Interpretive Services

Interpreting services are available for patients as needed.

Nurse Phones

You'll see our nursing staff using cell phones while on duty. These aren't personal phones. They cannot use them to call or text friends and family. These phones belong to CoxHealth. The phones connect to your medical record. Nurses use the phones to talk to other members of your health care team. They help the nurse give you medicine safely. Your nurse is alerted on their phone when your call light is on so you'll get attention fast.

Rapid Response Team

Dial 5555 from a hospital phone and tell the operator you need the rapid response team. Give the patient's room number or location.
