Weather Emergency
In case of a weather emergency, the hospital will conduct business as usual. However, during severe weather, such as blizzards and hurricanes, we may ask you to encourage family and friends to stay home. We do not wish anyone to risk their own safety in order to visit the facility.
Room Assignments
Rooms are assigned depending on availability, patientโs medical needs, and the patient population. Private rooms may be requested, but they may not be available due to medical necessity. Because of changes in hospital census, occasionally patient rooms may need to be changed.
Fire Safety and Drills
At Magee, we take fire safety seriously. That is why our staff receives ongoing training in fire safety and in responding to other emergency situations. For your safety, the hospital regularly conducts fire and emergency preparedness drills. You will be notified if a drill occurs during your hospital stay. When a fire emergency has been reported, strobes will flash, and doors will close automatically on the floor where a fire emergency has been reported, including the doors of patient rooms. The emergency response team staff will evacuate you, and other patients and visitors, to a safe area.
Nurse Call Button
If you need to talk to your nurse at any time, press the call button located by your bedside. If you are unable to press the call button, other devices are available. For your safety, there is also an emergency call button in the bathroom.
Pet Visitation
Certain pets are allowed as visitors. If you would like to have a pet visit, please discuss this with your case manager and provide veterinary records. Once records have been approved, the case manager will provide the guidelines for pet visits.
