Communicate Openly and Honestly With Our Providers
At our TGH North hospitals, we believe transparent and respectful communication is the cornerstone of effective health care. We urge you to ask questions and seek clarification from your health care team regarding any aspect of your treatment plan or any other concerns you may have. Also, you might consider having a trusted family member or friend by your side to advocate for you and serve as a second “set of ears.”
Finally, we encourage you to focus on maintaining a positive mindset and taking an active role in your recovery, including following your discharge instructions and other medical advice to the letter and engaging in any prescribed therapies or exercises. Your mental and emotional well-being will play a significant role in your healing process, and by staying informed, involved and optimistic, you can help ensure a successful hospital visit and recovery.
Visitor Information
At TGH North, we recognize the crucial role our visitors play in promoting the emotional well-being and recovery of our patients. Whether family members, friends or volunteers, these caring individuals provide vital support to our patients by offering comfort, companionship and a sense of connection during what may be a very challenging time.
When a patient is hospitalized, a visitor can alleviate feelings of isolation and anxiety, boost morale and create a more positive healing environment. Additionally, a visitor can aid in relaying essential information between the patient and their health care team, facilitating better communication and a clearer understanding of treatment plans and care instructions. The presence of a visitor can also help foster a sense of normalcy and social interaction, which can be particularly beneficial to a patient who is facing an extended hospital stay.
