Interpretation services

The hospital provides free interpretation services for those with limited English proficiency, and sign language interpreters for those who are hard of hearing or deaf. If you need translation services, please let your nurse know.

Mail

Mail and flowers are delivered to patient rooms by hospital volunteers. If we receive any items after discharge, we will contact the patient.

Pastoral care

We offer the services of the Lay Chaplain Ministry program, a volunteer organization of the Southeast Harris County community that offers patients and their families a shoulder to lean on, someone to talk and pray with, and a message of hope during lengthy hospital stays. If you want a lay chaplain to visit you, please discuss with your nurse. Our chapel is on the first floor in the main lobby, next to the gift shop.
