Patients – What to bring for your hospital stay

Visiting Hours

Madison Hospital advocates open and flexible visitation that welcomes and encourages the involvement of family and friends in the patient’s care. Certain departments limit visitation due to the nature of care given.

Our Staff

During your stay, you will come in contact with physicians, nurses and other members of our team such as dietitians, physical therapists and lab technologists. Each staff member should be identified with a hospital badge. The staff at Madison Hospital wear color-coded uniforms so you can easily identify who is coming and going from your room. Nurses always wear olive-colored scrubs.

Chaplain Service

We provide support and spiritual care to patients and their families in our hospital. If you would like a chaplain to visit you or a loved one, please notify any caregiver.

Concern or Complaint

If you have a concern, we recommend that you first attempt to resolve it with the department in which the problem occurred. If you don't reach a resolution with the person providing your care, we encourage you to contact the department manager, charge nurse or supervisor. Click here for more information.

Food Services

The Garden Café & Grill is located on the lobby level. You may choose to dine on our patio and enjoy the view of our peaceful Healing Garden.
