  1. Typical spin. Satmar bikur cholim is still not allowed on patient floors. The hospital didn't like that they were giving patients advice about medical care and end of life decisions. By going to the rooms, they built up a relationship with the patient and family and got involved in care decisions, and advocated for patients. Under the new agreement, they can restock the bikur cholim room.
