Security

Our security team provides 24-hour in-hospital and parking area patrols, employee and visitor escorts, vehicle assistance and lost/found services.

Cell Phone Use

Cell phones may only be used in the main entrances, lobby, admitting lobby, outpatient center lobby, emergency department waiting room and cafeteria. We ask that you turn off your cell phone in all other areas of the hospital.

Internet & Wi-Fi Access

Free wireless Internet access is available to patients and guests. You may bring your own Wi-Fi-capable devices and connect to "GuestNet" to browse websites, check email, or perform other basic online tasks while in our facility. As with most public networks, GuestNet is unsecured and requires you to take measures to protect your computer and personal data – please use it at your own risk.


Dining Options

The Health Nutrition Services department at Franciscan Health strives to exceed your expectations with well prepared food and excellent service. Our chefs and dietitians carefully developed our menu to provide the nutrition your body needs during your stay. Registered dietitians are on staff to provide counseling and answer questions. If your doctor schedules you for a test requiring a change in your diet, food selections will be modified or substituted accordingly.

We also provide cafeterias, vending machines and various light dining options.


Gift Shops

Each of our hospitals has a gift shop, and they offer more than just gifts for patients. You'll also find a variety of items that one might need while spending time here including books, plants and cards.

Valet Parking

For your convenience, free valet parking and/or shuttle services are available at some Franciscan Health hospitals.


No Smoking Policy

Franciscan Health is a smoke-free institution. Smoking is prohibited throughout our facilities and grounds. The policy applies to patients, visitors, employees, physicians, volunteers and service representatives. Thank you for your cooperation.
