Your Hospital Team
Medical Staff
Your attending physician is primarily responsible for your care. All tests, medications and consultations with other specialists are performed or administered under your attending physician's supervision. If you were not under the care of a physician affiliated with Auburn Regional Medical Center when you were admitted to the Hospital, a physician will be recommended to you.
Nursing Staff
Our nursing staff is committed to providing comprehensive care to patients, each of whom requires a different level of personal attention and expert skills. You will be assigned a registered nurse who will coordinate a thorough nursing assessment, plan of care and continuous monitoring of your health status throughout your hospitalization. Other care givers, under the direction of the registered nurse, will be assigned to care for you. A Nurse Manager is responsible for directing and coordinating nursing care on each unit. Please feel free to contact your nurse or the Nurse Manager if you have questions or concerns.
Chaplain Services
The Chaplain at Auburn Regional Medical Center can be contacted at your request. Please contact Nursing Services for more information. Your priest, minister, rabbi or other clergy is always welcome to visit you while you are here.
Dietitians
The hospital maintains a staff of full-time registered dietitians and dietetic aides to meet your dietary needs during your stay. A dietitian or dietetic aide may visit you shortly after admission to discuss your nutritional needs and food preferences.
Social Workers
A social worker is assigned to each patient and is trained to help patients and family members deal with financial, social and emotional problems that relate to illness or hospitalization. The social worker will work with you and your family with concerns related to your illness and are involved in discharge planning. To speak with a social worker, you, your family, your physician, or nurse should call Social Work Services at 253-804-2868.
Case Management
Registered nurses are assigned as case managers to patients with special discharge needs. This team will work with patients and families regarding skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation services or home health needs.
Housekeepers
Your room is cleaned daily by a member of the housekeeping staff. If there is a housekeeping problem in your room, tell your nurse, and it will be taken care of as soon as possible.
Volunteers & Volunteer Auxilliary
Volunteers contribute many hours of service and financial assistance to the hospital. They supplement the services of the Hospital staff in many ways and can be identified by their teal-colored uniforms.
Other Personnel
During your stay you may be visited by other healthcare professionals, including technicians, technologists and therapists. In addition, the Auburn Regional Medical Center family includes many behind-the-scenes workers, such as accountants, engineers, secretaries, food service workers and others who contribute greatly toward your well-being while you are here.
