Our telephone and television services are available to you 24 hours a day. To request phone and TV service, simply pick up the receiver of your bedside phone and dial 2-7250. You will hear a set of instructions that will help you establish your private line and/or television service. The daily charge for these services will be billed directly to your home telephone bill.

Here’s how to make calls from your bedside phone:

  • When you dial a Hopkins number from your room or any on-campus phone, the last five numbers are all that is necessary. For example, if you want to reach 410-955-5000, dial 5-5000. When you dial a local number in the Baltimore area, you must dial 9 and the 410 or 443 area code. For long distance calls, you will need a calling card or personal credit card. The hospital does not accept collect calls. For your convenience, a duplex telephone jack is available at your bedside for modem and computer hookup.

Patient Education On-Demand TV System

Patient education is an important part of your hospital stay and recovery after discharge. It is important for you and your family to understand your condition, treatment and any follow-up care you may need. As part of our television service, the hospital offers a wide range of patient education videos and informational presentations on our free Patient Education On-Demand TV System. A list of available videos appears on Channel 44. To view a video, simply dial 2-7250 on your bedside phone and follow the instructions.
