Many hospitals now have available small “desk top” refrigerators for patients who want to keep additional refrigerated food nearby. Call the hospital’s pastoral care office or the CMC to obtain your “bedside refrigerator.”
The CMC recently donated sets of tallit and tefillin to a number of local hospitals. Contact the hospital’s pastoral care office or the CMC if you would like to avail yourself of a tallit, tefillin or siddur while in the hospital.
At times, family members require a more constant watchful eye for a patient in crisis. The CMC may be contacted to provide personnel for around-the-clock monitoring.
The CMC has made arrangements for Shabbat and holiday accommodations that are adjacent to some local hospitals. Family members may take advantage of these accommodations in order to be near a patient over Shabbat or a holiday. Call the CMC for more details.
