Do you have a Gift Shop on site?

The hospital’s gift shop is operated and staffed by volunteers. It has many gift items, to express your best wishes for a patient and to make a hospital stay more comfortable. The gift shop is located in the main lobby. Visitors should check with the nurse before bringing gifts, food or drinks to patients. Certain gifts, including food, fresh flowers and live plants, are not allowed in some patient’s rooms. The gift shop is open daily, Monday through Friday, but has no set hours. If it is closed, check with the front desk, and someone will open it up for you.

How do I mail something to a patient?

Mail is delivered Monday through Friday. It is usually sorted and distributed by 10:00 am. Any mail received after you leave will be forwarded to your home. Please give the following information to anyone who may be writing you:
