Your Hospital Team

Medical Staff

The hospitalist physician or your attending physician is primarily responsible for your care. All tests, medications, and consultations with other specialists are performed or administered under your attending physician's supervision. If you were not under the care of a physician affiliated with Lansdale Hospital when you were admitted to the Hospital, you will be treated by a hopsitalist.

Nursing Staff

Our nursing staff is committed to providing comprehensive care to patients, each of whom requires a different level of personal attention and expert skills. You will be assigned a registered nurse who will coordinate a thorough nursing assessment, plan of care, and continuous monitoring of your health status throughout your hospitalization. Other care givers, under the direction of the registered nurse, will be assigned to care for you. A Nurse Manager is responsible for directing and coordinating nursing care on each unit. Please feel free to contact your nurse or the Nurse Manager if you have questions or concerns.

Pastoral Services

The hospital's full-time Chaplain is on call 24 hours a day and is available to minister to persons of all faiths. At your request, the Chaplain will contact your priest, pastor or rabbi for you. You may contact the Hospital Chaplain by calling (215) 361-4417, or ask your Nurse Manager to contact him for you.
