Chaplains/Pastoral Care. Illness and crisis are deeply spiritual experiences. We care about the thoughts, feelings, questions, meanings and deeper significance of hospitalization for patients and their families. Please call for a chaplain at (502) 222-3340 if your family is having trouble with the illness, family relationships or any aspect of the care at Baptist Health La Grange. Local clergy members are also welcome and encouraged to visit patients while they are in the hospital.
Cots. Cots are available for family members who wish to stay overnight with a patient. Ask the patient's nurse to make the arrangements.
Firearms. Firearms are not allowed in the hospital, unless a law enforcement officer is guarding a prisoner or performing other official duties.

Calls to patient rooms are not accepted between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. to make sure our patients get adequate rest. All patients may make outgoing calls at any hour.
