Patient Services
During your hospital stay, if you or your representative need to speak with someone who understands hospital procedures and assist with non-medical problems or concerns, you may contact the Department of Patient Services. Patient Advocates
are
familiar with services provided by the hospital and will assist in answering questions that may arise during your stay. Patient Advocates are available 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, by dialing (979) 848-9104 or (409) 772-4772. Should
you need assistance after hours, please ask to speak with the Clinical Operations Administrator (COA).
Medical Language Interpreters
Medical Language Interpreters are provided for patients who prefer to discuss health care information in a language other than English. Interpreters are available for foreign languages and sign language. Interpreters may be provided either in-person,
over the phone or by video remote interpreting. Please ask a member of your health care team or contact Patient Services, if you need an interpreter.
Ethics Consultation
Health care can sometimes raise ethical questions that cause confusion, anxiety or uncertainty about what course
of action to take in a particular case. Any patient, family member or health care professional needing to discuss such questions
in order to make a health care decision can call our Ethics Consultation pager at (409) 643-9650. Ethics
consultations are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Pastoral Care
UTMB believes in providing care to the spiritual, as well as the physical and emotional, needs of each patient.
Members of the Pastoral Care staff are available to assist you, whatever your faith tradition. You may contact our office at (979)
848-6060 or (409) 772-3909. The inter-faith chapel is on the 2nd floor near the Med/Surg Unit and is available for prayer and meditation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your own faith leader/spiritual guide is always welcome to visit you while
you are in our hospital.
Personal Belongings
UTMB Health strongly recommends that you leave valuables at home or send them home with a friend or family member. For items that require special care, such as eyeglasses, dentures and hearing aids, ask your nurse to assist you in caring for these
items, if needed. Please take care not to leave any of these items on your meal tray or lying on your bed, as they may be accidentally lost when your room is cleaned. The hospital is not responsible for the replacement of lost or damaged personal
items in patient rooms or waiting areas.

Flowers will be delivered to patient rooms, except for patients in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Please keep in mind that large plants and flowers are difficult to deliver and must be removed upon discharge.
