In the Hospital?

If you would like to have a visit from Pastor or from Carla Vanatta (AIM), while you are in the hospital, please tell the hospital that you are a SALEM member and you would like a visit. Have them notify the church office. As policies surrounding, confidentiality and patients rights are now governed by HIIPPA, hospitals can no longer contact church offices to notify them that church members have been admitted unless you specifically ask the nurse or medical staff to do so; this must be a specific request you make. If you desire a pastoral call during your admission, please contact the church office at (815) 895-9171.
