Communicating With Your Family

We know that when someone is in the hospital, friends and family want to be informed about their loved one’s recovery and we have found that the best way to do this is for you or your family to designate someone to be the primary contact. Please let us know who will be the primary contact and that person’s phone number. We will place the name and number in your chart, and to ensure patient confidentiality, we will give out information only to your primary contact. That person may then let family and friends know how your recovery is progressing. If you have any questions or are unable to identify someone to serve as your contact person, please talk with your nurse. You can also take advantage of the MyLifespan portal by giving family and friends access.
