When you need assistance, push the call button near your bed and a member of the nursing team will assist you as soon as possible.
Registration for emergency patients, inpatients, outpatient surgery, and outpatient testing or therapy takes place at the Myrtue Medical Center Emergency/Admitting Entrance desk located on the ground floor.

After your arrival, admission personnel will visit with you. Please present your insurance card at the time of registration.
Patients on general and restricted diets may select food from the daily menu. The hospital dietician works closely with your primary care provider on nutrition therapy and care.
