What Not to Bring to the Hospital

Jewelry, money and other valuable personal belongings are best left at home. Valuables brought to the hospital should be deposited in the hospital vault or given to a responsible family member for safekeeping.

Mail & Flowers

Hospital volunteers deliver mail to patients Monday through Friday. The hospital will forward all mail after the patient has been discharged. Flowers are delivered Monday through Saturday. If you send flowers after the patient has been discharged, the flowers will be returned to the florist, who will contact you about delivery.
