What to Bring
Storage in your room is limited, so please keep the items you bring to a minimum. We request that you not bring valuables with you to the hospital. However, if you must bring them and want them to be stored, ask your nurse to deposit them with our Security Department for safekeeping. Please be advised that the hospital is not responsible for personal items or valuables kept in your room.
Cellular phones are not permitted in patient care areas as they can interfere with heart monitors and other critical equipment.
Keep personal items like dentures, glasses, and hearing aids in your bedside table. Do not leave them on your food tray! The hospital will not replace these items if they are lost.
