Hospital Wayfinding
Please use the map below to find your way around St. Rita's Medical Center.
Meals for Our Patients
We offer “At Your Request” food delivery to our patients. “At Your Request” allows you to ask for a made-to-order meal for all your meal selections – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here’s how it works:
- You will have a Room Service menu in your room upon arrival. If you do not see a menu, please ask your nurse for a copy.
- To place an order, call extension 3999 between the hours of 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
- Turn your TV to channel 83 for additional information.
Telephones and Television
Most patient rooms have telephones. On each telephone is a four-digit extension number, different from your room number. Persons outside the Medical Center may contact you directly by dialing the patient information number at (419) 226-9095 and entering your four-digit extension number. If you call the 1-800-232-7762, the operator will answer and you will give her the four-diget extension number. Following this procedure will forward the caller directly into the patient room.
If you would like to have your room telephone turned off or routed to the nurses' station, please speak with your nurse. Please do not unplug the telephone.
To call a phone number within the Medical Center, simply dial the last four digits of the number. For example to call 419-226-9745, simply dial 9745 at any telephone within the hospital.
To place a local call outside the Medical Center, dial 6, the area code, and the seven-diget telephone number. There are public phones for local calls (not pay phones) in the main lobby across from the Chapel / Meditation area. To place a long-distance call, dial 0 and the operator will help you. All long distance calls must be charged to a credit or phone card, placed collect or billed to your home phone number. Long distance phone cards can be purchased in the Gift Shop.
