What to Bring and What Not to Bring to the Hospital

The Hospital cannot be responsible for the loss of money, jewels or other valuables kept in your room.  Upon admission you will be given a choice of sending your valuables home with a relative or friend or placing them in the business office safe.  You will receive a receipt for your valuables.  The receipt must be presented each time a withdrawal of valuables is made or when all valuables are withdrawn.  This is for your protection.  You may pick up your personal items from the cashier upon discharge or request that someone else pick them up for you.

Medications from Home

Patients wishing to use their own medications may do so upon written order of their physician. No other medication may be used by the patient in the Hospital except those ordered by the physicians. All medication brought by the patient to the Hospital; will be sent to the pharmacy for identification, storage, and safekeeping. They will be returned to you when you are discharged. Your physician may advise that some medications be discarded if they are no longer appropriate for you.
