St. Joseph Hospital

At St. Joseph Hospital, we consider it a privilege to provide you with nursing care that is competent and compassionate. Your registered nurses (RNs) make every effort to respect your dignity and rights as a patient. Your comfort and relief from pain are an important concern. Your nurses are committed to involving you, your family, and support persons in making decisions about your care, in a way that is logical, planned, and personalized.

Nursing assistants (LNA), licensed by the State of New Hampshire, also are key members of your care team. LNAs will interact with you the most on a daily basis to provide physical care, comfort, or nutritional needs.

Your entire nursing team is here for you. Please let us know your needs.

We want to make sure you get the very best healthcare and have access to the support services you need while you are in the hospital and after discharge. That is why we have an entire team to assist you including RN quality coordinators, RN case managers, and social workers. Together with you, your family, and your physician, we will make an assessment and arrange for any of the following services that you may require.

• Psychological
• Mental health
• Home healthcare and equipment
• Financial counseling
• Caregiver
• Nutrition
• Transportation

Please ask one of your nurses to notify us if we can be of service.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding your care, please contact our Patient Advocate.

Once your physician approves your discharge, you will be asked to complete your discharge forms. For your approximate time of discharge, please ask your nurse.
