The Patient Guide was created to give you and your family a single source for important information during your stay with JFK Medical Center. This guide should address most of the questions you may have but we encourage you to speak with your nurse or physician or call one of our Patient Representatives if you have additional questions. A Patient Representative can be called at extension 67566.
