What Not To Bring
We strongly encourage patients to leave their valuables at home,
as the hospital shall not assume responsibility for valuables nor for
personal belongings.
There are some items which may not be kept in patient rooms, and those items considered “contraband” because of their potential to harm or be abused. The following is a list of items that are considered contraband, and must be checked into the nursing station. (Please note that this list is not inclusive)
