At the time of admission to one of our affiliated hospitals (other than for emergency care) or when you seek care from some of our outpatient departments, you will be asked to agree to our "Conditions of Admission." By signing this document, you allow UnityPoint Health and its affiliates to provide you with medical care, share your health information and receive payment for the services provided.

Advanced Directives

All legal adults have the right to make decisions and choices regarding their medical care and health care. Unfortunately, circumstances sometimes arrive in which we are no longer able to make those decisions for ourselves, and wish to defer those choices to those around us that we trust.

These decisions should never be taken lightly, and require a lot of input and reflection from those people that are important in your life. To assist you in that process, Trinity has provided several advanced directive documents online to help with those conversations and decisions about your future.

An advance directive is a document in which a person either states choices for medical treatment (living will) or designates someone who should make health care decisions in the event the individual becomes unable to make them (power of attorney for health care).

Please feel free to download any of our forms or brochures to learn more.

For questions, call (309) 779-2687.

Trinity has chosen the most appropriate medications for the most reasonable price.

Many insurances pay for your procedure or observation stay. However, your insurance may not pay for all of the medications you receive. Those medicines that you normally take at home may not be paid for by Medicare or insurance while in an outpatient or observation level of care.

Trinity recognizes that the support of family and friends can play a vital role in the recovery of each patient. The hospital has established visiting hours so the scheduling needs of both patients and visitors may be met. Visitors should be free of infectious disease, such as a cold or flu.

Visitors are typically welcome from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., although some units may have more limited visiting policies that meet the need of their patients.

Visitors, support persons and caregivers will be asked to leave if they will not follow these Visitor Guidelines and UnityPoint Health – Trinity policies, or if they are disrupting the care of patients.

Visitor Guidelines

UnityPoint Health – Trinity provides the following visitor guidelines for patients. These guidelines adjust visitor access according to the needs of the care setting. 

All Visitors Must:

  • Be symptom-free (no symptoms of respiratory infection including fever, runny nose, cough, shortness of breath).
  • Be 12 years of age or older to visit patients in the hospital. 

A few tips to keep in mind when visiting Trinity:

  • Call patients before visiting to ensure they are feeling up to having guests.
  • Be aware of the number of people in a room and the length of your visit so patients are able to have plenty of time to rest.
  • Should you be exhibiting any signs of illness, please refrain from visiting until your symptoms are gone.
  • Help prevent infection by routinely washing your hands, particularly after using the restroom and before touching the patient.
  • Accompany and supervise all children under the age of 14.
  • If you are unable to visit, offer to help the family with tasks around the house such as grocery shopping, collecting mail and newspapers or preparing and freezing meals.

Additional Visitor Information

Cell Phones
Patients and visitors may use cell phones within the hospital except around certain types of equipment. Please ask your nurse if you have specific questions regarding usage.
