Accommodations
Welcome to Salina Regional Health Center—Confidence for the Good Life
While you and your family are guests at Salina Regional Health Center, we will do everything we can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our goal is to deliver a patient and family experience that surpasses expectations. We will gladly take the time to personally walk you to where you need to go, answer any questions you may have, and offer the comfort and compassion you need. Please do not hesitate to stop and ask help from any Salina Regional staff member you see while you are a guest here.
Personal Items
Remember, we want you to be as comfortable as possible while you are a guest here. We will be happy to supply you with sufficient bed clothing for your stay; however, you may find it more comfortable to bring your own pajamas and a bathrobe. You may also want to bring some personal items with you such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, slippers, shaving equipment, etc. Any electrical items such as hair dryers or electric razors will need to be safety checked before being allowed in your room for the safety of all our patients and guests.
We urge you not to bring valuables with you to the hospital. The Health Center cannot assume responsibility for large amounts of cash, expensive jewelry or other valuables kept in patient rooms. Such items may be checked into safekeeping upon your admission if you wish. On the day of your dismissal we encourage you to pick up your valuables before 4:30 p.m.
When not in use, fragile items such as dentures or eyeglasses should be kept in a protective container and labeled appropriately to prevent them from getting misplaced or broken.
Television
All adult patient rooms, with the exception of those in the Psychiatric Services Unit and the Rehabilitation Unit, are equipped with television sets which have remote control and pillow speakers.
All television sets are served by cable television. A TV guide is located in your Patient Handbook that you receive when you check in.
For your health education, patient televisions are also equipped with closed circuit education programming. Program guides are available in patient rooms.
Nutrition – Room Service
While you are a patient at Salina Regional Health Center, you will be provided with a full restaurant-style menu consisting of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, specialty entrees, traditional entrees, desserts and beverages. Operators are standing by to take your order from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. A traditional breakfast menu is still offered in the morning.
If a patient or family member has not called to place an order, food service personnel will either call you on the phone or come to your room to visit with you about your meal selection.
The Health Center's dietitians work closely with your doctor in the areas of diet therapy and nutrition. Should you have any questions about your diet, a dietitian will be glad to visit with you about any problems or modifications.
If your physician prescribes a special diet to be continued after your dismissal, instructions in meal preparations and management will be provided before you leave the hospital.
Smoking
Salina Regional Health Center is a non-smoking public facility, in accordance with state law. Patients and visitors are asked not to smoke in the hospital or on hospital grounds.
Valet Service
For the convenience of our patients and families, Salina Regional Health Center offers valet service Monday through Friday from 6:00am – 5:00pm, excluding holidays.
Please pull your vehicle next to the sidewalk in the circle drive located at the front entrance of the hospital right off Santa Fe Ave. You will be given a valet ticket when you drop your vehicle off. When you are ready to leave the hospital, bring your ticket back to the valet area and we will retrieve your vehicle and bring it back to the circle drive where it was initially left.
