Advance Directives |
|
|
|
We encourage all patients to complete an advance health care directive, which allows you to state your preferences for medical treatments and to select an agent or person to make your health care decisions in case you’re unable to do so, or if you want someone else to make decisions for you.

Hand Hygiene is the #1 way to prevent the spread of infections.
| Why? |
You can take action by practicing hand hygiene regularly and by asking those around you to practice it as well. |
| When? |
You and your loved ones should clean your hands very often, especially after touching objects or surfaces in the hospital room, before eating, and after using the restroom.Your healthcare provider should practice hand hygiene every time they enter your room. |
| How? |
It only takes 15 seconds of using either soap and water or an alcoholbased hand rub to kill the germs that cause infections. |
| Which? |
Use soap and water when your hands look dirty; otherwise, you can use an alcoholbased hand rub. |
| Who? |
You, your loved ones, and your healthcare providers should practice hand hygiene.

Pastoral Care |
|
|
|
To be hospitalized or admitted to a nursing home can be extremely challenging. Many people find that talking with a chaplain can help during this period. Chaplains provide spiritual support to patients, family members, friends, and staff members at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, d’Youville Pavilion, and Maison Marcotte.
