Parents of Pediatric Patients
One parent of a pediatric patient is invited and encouraged to stay overnight with the child, especially if that child is under age 7. The parent may use a bed or cot at no additional charge. To make arrangements for an overnight stay with your child, please speak with a nurse.

For infants who are hospitalized, formula and baby food are included in the room charge. Not every brand is available, but we offer an adequate selection. Please talk with your child’s nurse if you have any questions.

Smoking
Northwest Medical Center and its clinics are smoke-free facilities. No one is permitted to smoke inside the building or on hospital property. The ban includes smoking inside vehicles on hospital property and applies to all hospital personnel as well as patients and visitors.

Chapel/Family Area
The hospital has a small chapel/family area located near the emergency room. This area is a retreat provided especially for visitors. This area can also be used as overnight accommodations for a family member or close friend to be near a patient in the emergency room.

Gifts are available from the NMC Auxiliary's gift counter in the hospital’s main lobby and newest display in the nook outside the dining room entrance.
