At Daviess Community Hospital, we want your hospital stay to be as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Below, you'll find important information to help you prepare for your inpatient stay—what to bring, what to leave at home, and what to expect from your care team during your time with us.
You only need a few essential items for your stay. Personal belongings from home can make your stay more comfortable, but please remember that Daviess Community Hospital is not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
We recommend bringing:
Please do not bring medications from home unless instructed. Your provider will order any medications you need during your stay, and these will be documented in your medical record.
We take patient safety seriously and ask that you help us maintain a secure environment by following these hospital guidelines:

As your stay comes to an end, Daviess Community Hospital offers support to help you transition safely out of the hospital.
