If a loved one is in the hospital, you'll want to send a positive thought their way with an eCard or a card in the mail, a telephone call, or by visiting the Chapel.

Chaplains and Chapel. Chaplains are available for counseling, spiritual and emotional support for hospital patients and families. To request a chaplain visit, call (270) 575-2176 or ask a nurse to contact one for you. Western Baptist Hospital's Chapel is located on the first floor just off the Atrium and is open 24 hours a day for prayer and meditation.

eCards. Let your friend or family member know you are thinking about while they are at Western Baptist Hospital by sending an eCard greeting. The service is offered free of charge and the greetings are delivered by hospital auxiliary members.

Mail. Mail is delivered to patients daily by members of Western Baptist Hospital's Auxiliary. Mail received for a patient after discharge will be forwarded to the patient's home. Please address mail as follows:

Patient Name and Room Number
Western Baptist Hospital
2501 Kentucky Avenue
Paducah, KY 42003

Telephones. Family members and friends may call a patient's room directly by dialing 575-2 and the patient's room number. Calls to patient rooms are not accepted between 9:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. to make sure our patients get adequate rest. Patients may make outgoing calls at any hour.

Telephone numbers for hospital departments, services, and nursing units are listed in our phone directory.
