Multiservice Ward (MSW)
The Multiservice Ward (MSW) delivers compassionate, safe, and high-quality care to our beneficiaries. Our outstanding team of nurses, Corpsmen, and providers collaborate to help our patients achieve optimal health outcomes that keep them and their families at the center of their care.
The MSW is comprised of the inpatient units 4E, 4F, 4H, and 4J. We provide care to adults admitted to the Internal Medicine, Oncology, and Surgical Services.
The MSW is open to visitors at all hours. See below for our visitor policy.
Visitors
Patients in an inpatient status may have two healthy visitors. Any visitor under the age of 18 years must always be accompanied and supervised by an adult. The supervising adult cannot be an admitted patient. Visitors may be limited if the members of our care team are unable to safely perform their job or if contraindicated by the patient’s medical condition.
Masks are no longer required within NMRTC Portsmouth for all patients, visitors, and staff. However, the following circumstances necessitate mask wear:
- Those with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or other respiratory infection (e.g., those with runny nose, cough, fever, or sneezing).
- Those who have had close contact with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection within the last 10 days.
To protect the health of our staff and patients, we discourage visitation if you are feeling ill.
Infants may board with mothers who are admitted to the MSW as appropriate. A designated caregiver other than the admitted patient must always be available to care for the infant.
Service animals are welcome on the MSW. Service animals must meet all state and local license tag and vaccination requirements and are the responsibility of the handler while on the premises.
