At Deaconess Hospital, we understand that family is an important part of the healing process, and our policies are designed to help reduce your anxiety, answer your questions and provide ongoing reassurance and guidance.

To assure patient confidentiality, we ask that your family identify one spokesperson to receive and communicate information. The role of this person will be to contact all the friends and relatives who need to be reached each day to update them on the patient's condition. We recommend that the spokesperson not be a primary relation, such as the patient’s spouse, parent or significant other. Having a spokesperson eliminates frequent calls to the ICU, which can pull the nurse away from the patient's bedside.
