Meals
Each day patients are given the opportunity to select a meal choice from a menu. If a visitor would like to eat with a patient, guest trays are available for a nominal fee. There also are several other dining options for visitors.
On occasion, tests and procedures ordered by the doctor may require that meals be delayed. A nurse will notify the Nutrition Services department when meals may be resumed.
If the doctor prescribes a modified diet for a patient, a registered dietitian will assess the patient's nutritional needs and explain the modified diet.
Personal Belongings
Patient's should not bring large sums of money, credit cards or valuables to the hospital, or valuables should be sent home with a family member. At the time of admission, a patient may leave items in St. Anthony's Security Safe. Please request a receipt, as it will be required to claim valuables.
Patients are responsible for their personal belongings, such as eyeglasses, dentures, hearing aids, cell phones, etc. Personal items should be kept in protective cases and not left on the top of the nightstand, on the food tray or on the bed. St. Anthony’s is not responsible for damage to or loss of patients’ personal items.
Telephone Access
To use the phone to dial an outside local phone number, dial 9, then the number.
To dial a department within the hospital, dial only the last 4 digits of the phone number.
To dial another patient room, dial 2 plus the patient room number.
To make a long distance call, dial 9 plus 0 and then the number you wish to call. A phone company operator will ask you how you would like to pay for the call (credit card, collect, etc).
Relatives and friends may call a patient's room directly by dialing 314-525-4000, plus 2 and then the room number. They may call the information desk at 314-525-1111 to obtain a room number.
