The doctor or one of the nurses will review your discharge orders with you. It sometimes requires as much as twenty-four hours for a charge from a given department of the hospital to be posted on your bill by the business office. For this reason, charges for treatments or medicines ordered during the twenty-four hours preceding discharge may not be received by the business office in time to appear on your bill before you leave the hospital. The posting date may be after you were discharged from the hospital. Medical Services Emergency Department Morehead's complete twenty-four hour emergency care department is available when immediate medical care is needed.
Physicians are always on hand to treat all types of emergencies.
You should ask your personal physician about your emergency care needs. The Birthing Center allows the mother to labor, deliver and remain in the same beautiful room. Many educational programs are offered and a lactation consultant is available for breastfeeding mothers. When our Birthing Center is full, patients may be moved to an adjacent area after delivery. The Library contains books, journals, and audiovisual material which aid the medical personnel and staff in staying aware of new procedures.
