Media Center
Thank you for visiting LRGHealthcare. Our goal is to support your need for healthcare information and patient conditions. By following a few ground rules, together, we can meet your informational needs.
Should you require a patient condition, please follow these guidelines.
-
Media representatives will contact the Emergency Department or patient floor directly for patient conditions.
-
Nursing staff will try and accommodate the request using one of the General Patient Conditions listed below. The media representative must give nursing staff a name and then the only information, which will be given out, is a one word General Patient Condition.
-
If nursing staff is unable to assist the media representative, they may refer the media representative to the LRGHealthcare Director of Public Relations and Marketing at (603) 737-1041 or pager:517-2894.
