Mass is celebrated Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30 a.m., and Sunday at 8 a.m., in the chapel located in the Atrium across from the Information Desk. Our chapel is open 24/7 for quiet contemplation and all are welcome.

Do you have bilingual support?
Your nursing supervisor or case manager will arrange for an interpreter to come to the medical center. We work with certified interpreters from outside agencies that are regulated by various state commissions. Agencies require that interpreters sign a statement of ethical and medical confidentiality.
In emergency situations, qualified clinical staff may be called upon to serve as interpreters, until a certified interpreter arrives.

We offer amplified headsets and telecommunication devices to our hearing impaired patients. We also offer interpreters for non-speaking deaf patients. We work with certified interpreters from outside agencies regulated by state commissions. Agencies require employees to sign a statement of ethical and medical confidentiality.
In emergency situations, until the arrival of an outside interpreter, friends or family members may be called upon for assistance, but this is otherwise strongly discouraged.
What are the gift shop and flower shop hours?
St. Mary’s Gifted Butterfly Gift Shop carries a variety of items from snacks and incidentals to magazines and fresh flowers. Seasonal items, popular specialty gifts and ZUM soap, which is made in Kansas City, are also available. The gift shop does not charge sales tax and will be happy to deliver gifts or purchases to patients’ rooms.
The gift shop is a project of the St. Mary’s Auxiliary. Each year the auxiliary makes a donation to the hospital from its receipts to help a variety of projects.
