TEAM OF CAREGIVERS

Physicians

Your attending physician authorizes the treatment you will receive during your stay. If you have any questions about your medical treatment, please ask your physician directly. Private practice physicians are not employed by the hospital; therefore, your physician will send you a separate bill for services rendered.

Nurses

Our professional nursing team is made up of Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Patient Care Techs (PCTs) and Health Unit Coordinators (HUCs). A Clinical Leader is responsible for directing and coordinating nursing care on each unit. Our team is committed to providing you a safe and healing environment. Should you have any concerns during your stay about your care, please request to speak with the Clinical Leader.

Dietitians

FLORIDA HOSPITAL Fish Memorial has a staff of registered dietitians. If you have any questions about meals or diet, please contact your nurse to request a consult.

Pharmacists

The Pharmacy manages all hospital medications. Pharmacists provide counseling to patients about medications and serve as a resource for physicians about the latest medication therapies. If you have questions about your medications, ask your doctor or request your nurse to schedule a consult with a pharmacist.

Other Caregivers

Depending on your condition, your physician may call on several of our health care professional to participate in your care. Some of these professionals are phlebotomists (to draw blood for analysis), respiratory-care practitioners, therapists (such as speech or physical therapists) and imaging technologists (for procedures such as X-rays).
