Whether you’re here as a patient or a visitor, a hospital visit can
be difficult. We want to make your visit as enjoyable as possible, and
we’ll do everything we can to make your experience seamless. Little
things can make a big difference, and we offer numerous amenities to make
your visit more comfortable.
At most of our entrances, you’ll find a hospital greeter. Greeters
can help you locate patient rooms, direct or escort you to any locations
within the hospital, assist with parking, and help you find
lodging and other local community resources.
Visitors are welcome to dine in the Prairie Winds Cafe on the lower level
of Altru Hospital. In addition, guests may order a meal to be delivered
to the room of the patient they are visiting, allowing patients to eat
with their loved ones. Guests may choose any entree, two sides, a beverage
and a dessert for $8.25.
