Fire Drills
To assure maximum efficiency in a fire emergency, Valley Baptist Medical Center conducts fire drills each month. If a drill should occur while you are a patient, please do not become alarmed.
Medical Instructions/Advice
As a patient, there may be times when your doctor and the hospital staff will ask you to remain in bed and call for help when you need to leave the bed. Please take those instructions seriously and press the nurse call for an attendant to help you. When leaving the bed and walking about, use non-skid booties.
What to Bring/What Not to Bring
Patients are encouraged not to bring electrical appliances into the Medical Center. Electric razors, hair-grooming appliances, radios, and stereo systems may be permitted if patient care activities and nearby patients will not be disturbed. Personal, line-powered devices may not be used in critical care areas.
