Guest Accommodations

Waiting Areas

There are specially designed lounge areas for visitors on each patient floor and on the main floor in the lobby. Specific waiting areas have been designated for families of patients in the critical care unit, the emergency department and surgery. During certain hours, a volunteer host or hostess is in the surgery waiting room to keep family members informed about the progress of surgery.

After Hours

If you need a hotel after hours, please contact Patient Access (Admitting) at 241-6320 for assistance. The Patient Access staff assign Care Inn beds after hours, so they have access to information about the Care Inn, ILH Hotel rooms and local hotels who provide special rates and shuttle services.
