Your Accommodations

Your Room

Your room assignment is based upon your admitting diagnosis and the bed availability in the day of your admission.  All rooms are private (single bed).  Your window overlooks tranquil scenery that may include a pond and meadows.

No Smoking, Please

Due to health concerns of our community, patient and staff, smoking is not permitted while at Rush-Copley Medical Center.  We understand this policy may cause you difficulty, however, we ask that you do not go outside (on patios, near exits, etc.) to smoke since the entire campus including all outdoor areas is smoke free.  In addition to being against a hospital policy, smoking on campus is unsafe because nurses and clinical staff cannot monitor your condition while away from patient designated areas.  In order to make you more comfortable while here, we can obtain an order from your physician for either medication or a nicotine patch.  If you have any questions or would like assistance in complying with our smoke free environment, please call our Patient Advocate at 630-978-4832 or clinical coordinator at 630-978-4838.

Telephone

The telephone in your room is available for making and receiving calls.  Your phone number during your stay is 630-978-6200.  When family and friends call, they should ask for you by name and mention that you are a patient.  Local calls include those made to prefixes in the (630), (708), (312), (815), (773) and (847) area codes.

All calls considered non-local can be billed collect, to a third party or to a major credit card.  For your convenience, you may consider purchasing a prepaid phone card before coming to the hospital, or purchase one in the Gift Shop once you arrive.

Interpreter services are available should your calls require translation in any language. 

Accessing the Internet

Your medical record information is collected on computers that nurses and physicians bring to your bedside.  This information will be discussed with you as it is entered into your medical record.
