If you wish, we can arrange an appointment with a hairdresser for you. You will be responsible for the cost of this. Please speak to your nurse or Room Service. They will be happy to help you.

You are responsible for your own travel to and from the hospital. Do you need assistance from a transport service such as Tixi-Taxi? If so, please speak to your nurse or Room Service. They will be happy to arrange a transport service or a taxi for you.

A stay in hospital can raise questions. Our patient advice service supports patients and their carers through difficult times. It puts you in touch with specialist services and helps you organise the period following your discharge from hospital. If you would like to make use of this service, please speak to your nurse.

There is a postbox at the entrance to the car park for outgoing letters. Stamps are available from the kiosk. Please address post to in-patient patients as follows:

The Zuger Kantonsspital premises are smoke-free. Smoking is only permitted in the signposted outdoor smoking areas. Tobacco products are not available at the kiosk.

The Room of Silence on Level 3 is a place for reflection, contemplation and tranquillity. It is open to all patients, relatives and visitors at all times.

Room Service is here to assist you with all non-medical matters, from ordering meals to looking after your flowers. You can find all our services under ‘Hospitality & Catering’.

The hospital chaplaincy team will support you and your relatives during your stay, should you wish. They are available for conversations, crisis intervention, grief counselling and end-of-life care, as well as for religious needs such as prayer, Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Anointing of the Sick, a blessing for the sick or confession. If you would like to get in touch with the chaplaincy team, please speak to your nurse.

Peace and rest are important during a hospital stay. Please therefore be considerate of your fellow patients. Observe quiet hours, keep the volume of your devices at a reasonable level and, where possible, use headphones.
 

Landline telephone

A telephone is integrated into your media terminal. You will be given your personal telephone number by your nurse on admission. To ensure that all patients can get sufficient rest, incoming calls between 9 pm and 7 am are handled by our switchboard and will only be put through to you in urgent cases.

Mobile phones and tablets

You are generally permitted to use your mobile phone or tablet. Please be considerate of your fellow patients and observe the quiet hours.
 

Television and radio

You can access various television and radio programmes via the media terminal. Headphones are available on request from your nurse.

For hygiene reasons, animals are not permitted in the hospital. A special arrangement applies to guide dogs, therapy dogs and assistance dogs – see the ‘Preparation’ section for more information.
