Ambiance
At South County Hospital we recognize the importance of the environment during this time of a patient’s life. To add a greater sense of peacefulness, our hospice rooms are located in a quiet, light-filled area of the hospital.
Like all inpatient rooms here, our hospice rooms are private with en suite baths. They are also larger than our other rooms and include a pull-out couch that can accommodate a loved one for an overnight stay.
Starting January 5, masking will be required for all healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all patient care areas and high-traffic areas (e.g., lobby and waiting rooms) at South County Hospital and all South County Health locations. This includes Express Care, Lab, Diagnostic Imaging, Primary Care, Center for Women’s Health, and specialty practices.
