Hospital Room Amenities at MyMichigan Medical Center Standish

We have a mixture of semi-private and private rooms at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena. If you have a preference, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

• Room - Your room has been carefully chosen for you based on the type of medical care you will need and the appropriate nursing unit that can provide that care for you. If you would prefer a private room, every effort will be made to obtain one for you, based on availability. 
• Hospital Bed - Once you arrive in your room, your nurse will show you how to operate the bed controls, use the bed rails, and the locations of the call button. There also is a call bell cord in the bathroom. Do not hesitate to use the call button at your bedside or in the bathroom if you need assistance.
• Room Temperature - If your room is too hot or too cold, please inform your nurse or the person who cleans your room.
