Additional Services
Interpreters
While it is ideal for patients to bring their own
interpreters to the hospital, we realize that this is not always
possible. For this reason, Delnor offers translation services for patients
and visitors. In some cases, translation can be provided in person. In others,
the services of Certified Language International (CLI) are used. This
telephone translation service is available 24 hours-a-day at no charge to
the patient or visitor.
A variety of print, videotape, and online
resource materials in Spanish and other languages are also available in
patient care areas.

deliver letters and packages for patients each morning. Mail that arrives
after you have been discharged will be forwarded to your home.

volunteer. |

your room please notify your nurse.
Organ and Tissue Donation
|
Organ and
tissue donation can save or improve the quality of life for people who
suffer from organ failure, bone defects, or blindness. This is a very
personal choice and specially-trained hospital and pastoral care staff are
available 24 hours-a-day to assist in the event that such a decision needs
to me made. Delnor maintains a close relationship with the Illinois Organ
and Tissue Donor Network. |

faiths are welcome at Delnor and can visit their members at any time. A member
of the hospital staff will be glad to call your clergy for you upon request. A
