For Your Visitors

Staying Overnight with Patients

It is sometimes necessary for someone to stay overnight with a patient. Please check with your nurse to obtain a visitor's badge. If you are coming in after 9 p.m., you must enter through the main front entrance and stop at the Information Desk to obtain a visitor's badge. Piedmont Heart at Augusta visitors must obtain a visitor's badge from the nurse manager on duty. Identifying after-hours visitors helps ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone in the hospital. Should you have a concern about the patient's condition at any time while staying with a patient, press the nurse call button to inform the nurse.

Remembrance Fund

University Health Care Foundation provides many opportunities to make gifts both large and small, which in turn make available services that otherwise might not be possible. Thoughtful gifts celebrating a birth, commemorating a death or simply saying "thank you" to a helpful employee may be made using the envelopes displayed outside each visitor elevator.
