Patient and Visitor FAQs

CHRISTUS Jasper Memorial Hospital has a special Outpatient Pharmacy for its hospital & clinic patients.

If you are a patient at our Emergency Room or one of our two clinics (Jasper & Kirbyville) you will save on both waiting time and money over retail through our special 340B program.

We accept most insurances (deductibles cannot be discounted) and are open 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday and closed during lunch from  2:00-3:00 pm 

Having a new baby is undoubtedly a joyous event for each member of your family. Big brothers and sisters may be excited or anxious to meet their new sibling. We want them to share in this exciting experience, while also ensuring you and your new baby's wellness remains a priority.

For this reason, we have some friendly guidelines for you to follow:

1. Sibling presence will be at the provider’s discretion. If your infant is not critically ill upon admission, siblings may be invited to the bedside on day of birth. We ask that additional times be discussed and set up with infant’s care team.
2. Only siblings will be invited in. No other children (cousins, neighbors, etc) are allowed for the protection of the infant’s.
3. Sibling over the age of 3 will be invited in for 10-15 minutes at a time so siblings will have a good experience at the bedside.
4. You may be unaware that exposure to certain illnesses pose a threat to the health and safety of your infant. Therefore, parents will be asked to provide the sibling’s immunization record and complete a SIBLING SCREENING FORM before admittance to the unit. If sibling is entering upon admission, parents will attest that sibling is current on vaccinations, and be prepared to produce record on subsequent visits.
5. Siblings younger than 14 must be supervised AT ALL TIMES by parent or designated adult family member. 
6. For the safety of the visiting siblings, a request is made that siblings not play on the floor or walk around the nursery when parents are spending time with the infant.
7. Sibling presence may be limited during cold/flu/RSV season
8. Sibling presence may also be limited based on unit activity and the attention/behavior of the child.
9. All family/friends/siblings will be screened for illness prior to admittance into unit.

Our Spiritual Care Team is committed to offering spiritual care to patients, families, friends, staff and the community. This is true especially during times of illness and hospitalization. Our Chaplains are professionally board certified and clinically trained to provide ecumenical support to everyone.

We believe acknowledging the human spiritual nature of our patients is a vital component of our healing ministry. A "holistic" view of patient care attends to the body, mind, and spirit. We respect the patient's viewpoint and are sensitive to the unique spiritual needs of each person we serve. The Spiritual Care Team leads the effort to assure this aspect of care is honored. We serve all patients and families regardless of faith or affiliation. Our staff and Chaplains are always ready to offer support to the spiritual well-being of our patients and their friends and family.

Our ministry includes, but is not limited to:

• Spiritual and emotional support
• Prayer
• Grief and loss counseling
• End of life issues
• Information about Advance Directives
• Help in dealing with worries, fears, questions, or pain
• Help with ethical concerns, values, and decisions
• Support during times of crisis or emergency situations
• Family team conferences
• Providing Sacraments or religious services as appropriate

We care about the health of our patients, visitors and staff.

That's why we have made all CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System locations - inside and outside -tobacco-free. This decision was not made lightly. We understand that nicotine is addictive, and regret the inconvenience to tobacco users. Knowing the dangers that tobacco poses, however, we believe that smoking areas are simply not consistent with our mission: "Extending the Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ".

Yes, please follow these instructions: CHRISTUS Guest wifi – activiate Wifi settings on your phone or laptop and connect to CHRISTUS Wifi without any required password.

For the benefit of all our patients, we ask that visitors please:

• Limit visits to 15 minutes, with no more than two visitors at a time in the patient’s room
• Have no visible signs of infection (such as cold, cough, fever, fever blisters, skin rash or impetigo)
• Do not sit on the patient’s bed
• Speak softly and avoid noise
• Do not give food or refreshments to the patient without permission from the physician or nurse
• Observe smoking rules posted in the hospital. We are a tobacco free facility for the health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff
