room2Discharge

Our hospital discharge time is 11 a.m. Whenever possible, we ask that you make arrangements to leave by this time once your physician has discharged you. This time allows us to prepare your room for use by other patients. Our staff can assist you and your family in making arrangements for discharge.

Financial Counseling

Financial counselors can help if you have concerns about how you will pay your hospital bill. They will answer questions about your bill and discuss payment options. If you do not have insurance, they will help you find out if you qualify for Medicaid or other assistance programs.

If you would like to speak with a financial counselor, you may reach them at 920-288-3092.

Helping Hand Patient Financial Assistance Program

From time to time, we all experience hardships, financial or otherwise, and can use a helping hand. Aurora is committed to providing high quality medical services to our patients, and to making those services affordable and available to everyone.

Our Helping Hand Patient Financial Assistance Program can offer you and your family a helping hand when you need it the most. This program is provided to patients of Aurora hospitals and clinics.

Anyone who does not have health insurance qualifies for some level of discount through this program, regardless of income.

For more information, we encourage you to speak with your receptionist or patient financial counselor.

Patient Satisfaction Survey

After you are discharged, you may receive a written patient satisfaction survey. The intent of the survey is to allow you an opportunity to make comments or suggestions, or address any problems relating to your experience at Aurora BayCare. Your assistance in completing the survey is greatly appreciated, as we want to continually monitor and address possible areas for improvement.

Pastoral Care

Chaplains are available at all times to discuss your spiritual or emotional concerns. Chaplains also assist in contacting your house of worship for sacramental needs, or a visit from your own clergy. You may request a chaplain at any time by speaking to your nurse or calling 288-3094 to leave a message. The Interfaith Chapel, located on the first floor between the Inpatient Reception area and the Main Lobby, is open for use at all times for prayer.

Community Resource Library

The Community Resource Library is located on the 4th floor of Aurora BayCare Medical Center just to the left of the gold elevators. The library is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to physicians, staff, patients and the general public. The library is designed to be a center for all of your health information and decision-making needs. Our collection contains books, videos, reference materials and medical and health journals. A full-time librarian is available to help you find just the piece of health information you are looking for! Books in the library may be checked out for two weeks.
