Announcement for Parents of Hospitalized Kartini Clinic Patients

In response to parents' requests for an earlier return to work, as well as to assist in the management of other children at home, Kartini Clinic will no longer require a parent to be present for daily morning rounds while their child is in the hospital, effective immediately.

Instead, one of the two doctors will meet with the parents on the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday) for a more lengthy update on the progress their child has made that week. While parents will not be able to reach doctors via phone during the week, they are still welcome to try to catch them for a brief update during their weekday rounds (usually in the morning). For major logistical problems parents can call Emanuel’s Registered Nurse Case Manager (Bethany or Shari) at 503-413-3554, before noon, or your child’s own nurse for daily information regarding vitals. Parents will still meet weekly with their Kartini Clinic family therapist and should continue to attend Parent Support Group on Mondays at 5 PM.
