As part of our comprehensive effort to make your experience at Atrium Health Navicent Peach as comfortable as possible, our admissions staff has prepared the following information:
Patients reporting for outpatient procedures or day surgery will enter the main lobby unless arriving prior to 7:00am or during the weekend, at which time you would enter through the ER lobby.
If you are calling a number inside the hospital, you will only need to dial the four digit extension number.
If you check the privacy box on your admission form or tell the person admitting you that you wish your information to be keep private, you will not be listed on the Atrium Health Navicent Peach information system. This means that people telephoning you from outside the hospital will be told by the operator that you are not on record and they cannot be connected to your room. It will also mean that visitors requesting to see you will be told that there is no listing for a patient by your name.
If you wish to receive phone calls and visitors, do NOT check the privacy box on your admission form.
Because of new laws to protect patient privacy, staff at TMCPC cannot release any information about you to your family and friends without your permission. When you are being admitted, a staff member will ask you for an access code. Give this access code to the people you want to be able to obtain information about you. When someone provides a hospital staff member with your access code, the staff member can provide that person with information about your condition.
