Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center
Guest Information
Visitors are welcome at any time. However, patients need plenty of rest and may have frequent tests and treatments. Visitors may be asked to briefly leave a patient's room while procedures, treatments and patient care activities are performed.
Please maintain a quiet environment for the sake of others. Cell phone conversations are best held in an area away from patients and visitors. Visiting children must be with an adult at all times. And please be considerate. If you are suffering from a cold, the flu or other communicable disease, please postpone your visit until a later date.
ATMAn automated teller machine is located next to the elevator nearest the front lobby, for cash withdrawals.
Balloons and flowersBecause of the potential for allergic reactions to latex balloons, we ask that they not be brought into the hospital. Mylar balloons (shiny plastic) are acceptable. Because of pollen and infection control concerns, flowers are not permitted in the CCU, however flowers may be brought in once a patient is transferred to the medical/surgical unit.
BeveragesTwo visitor's kitchens are located in the medical-surgical department. Complimentary coffee, tea and water are available for visitors. Because of health regulations, please do not enter the inner kitchen area where patient meals are kept.

Hand washingThe most important way to prevent infections is good hand washing. All health care workers should wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before caring for patients. Make sure you wash your hands, too. Even after you go home, don't forget to wash your hands before eating, drinking, or after coughing, blowing your nose, or using the restroom. Throughout the facility, please frequently use the hand sanitizer provided at our hand hygiene stations.

Books and videotapes may be found here on many topics, including surgical procedures, stress, diabetes, childbirth and parenting, menopause, autism, Alzheimer's, and exercise.

Rapid Response TeamWe are dedicated to keeping the hospital a safe place for patient care. Our Rapid Response Team consists of a critical care nurse and respiratory therapist who assist with early interventions when necessary. Your nurse should be your first contact, but
we want you to call for help when your loved one's medical condition is changing quickly and you feel help is needed right away. To access the Rapid Response Team,
Dial 88 on the telephone in your room and press your call button. The team, which will be paged overhead, will arrive shortly to assess the situation. Additional clinical support will be called in as needed.
SmokingProvidence Willamette Falls Medical Center is committed to promoting good health and disease prevention in the community. For that reason, and the hazard posed by secondhand smoke for staff and patients, tobacco use is not allowed on hospital properties, indoors or outdoors. Visitors can purchase nicotine lozenges and gum in our gift shop.
Vending machinesSeveral vending machines with snacks and drinks are located throughout the hospital. A staff member can direct you to the nearest one.
Visiting the Critical Care Unit (CCU)CCU patients may tire easily. It is important that visits be short and that only one or two people visit at a time. If a patient needs immediate care or more rest, the nurse may ask visitors to leave. Before entering the CCU, please call into the department using the wall phone near the CCU entrance.
Valet parkingThis free service is offered to patients, families, and visitors on weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. A parking valet will pick-up and drop off your car at the hospital's front entrance.
