The Switchboard Service is the information center for the hospital.
Switchboard staff complete all Emergency visit registrations and most registrations for Diagnostic Imaging. They provide clerical and billing services for the outpatient areas, and maintain files for all outpatient and emergency patients.
Switchboard staff are responsible for coordinating communications and redirecting incoming calls to AMGH staff. Switchboard staff dispatch 911 fire calls and announce all emergency codes within the hospital.
