Valuables or Lost Items

Patients are asked not to bring items of value to the hospital.

You will be given a written receipt for all items, which must be presented when you withdraw them. The hospital does not accept responsibility for items of value unless they are deposited in the safe.

Cellular Phones

In an effort to insure the safety and well being of all our patients, the Hospital Safety Committee has determined that cellular telephones and radio transmitters should not be used in the Emergency Department. Cellular telephones must be turned completely off because the devices transmit even in standby mode. Thank you for your cooperation.
