Preparing For Your Visit
Visitors are asked to be considerate of any roommate when they visit a patient. Anyone with a cold, respiratory infection, or other contagious disease, should postpone their visit so as not to spread the illness to patients.
Parking
Parking for patients and visitors is available at both the Main Lobby Entrance and the Emergency Care Center (ECC) Entrance.
Refreshments
Refreshments can be found in the Cafeteria on the Ground Floor, which is open from 6 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. You can also find a vending area in the Emergency Care Center, also located on the 1st Floor. No food or beverages are allowed in the Main Lobby waiting area.
Calling From Home
Patients may make phone calls from their rooms any time, but may only receive calls between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. If you know the extension number of the patient, you may call directly by dialing (508) 236 + Ext. #. If you do not know the patient's extension, you may call (508) 236-8555 and the Information Desk representative can connect you.
Flower and Balloon Policy
For the safety and comfort of our patients, Sturdy Memorial Hospital has established a flower and balloon policy. All flowers, plants and other gifts (i.e: gift baskets) should first be brought to the Information Desk. All flower arrangements must be delivered in some type of vase, since nursing stations are not equipped with these items. Live or fresh-cut evergreens are not permitted due to their flammable nature. Loose or free-flowing balloon bouquets are also not permitted. However, one single balloon (up to 18" in diameter) is permitted, as long as it is tied to, or weighted with an anchor (i.e.: a candy jar or stuffed animal). For a copy of the complete Flower and Balloon Policy, ask at the Information Desk.
Smoking
Sturdy Memorial Hospital is a smoke-free institution. Smoking is prohibited within the Hospital at all times, for all individuals (patients, employees, physicians, volunteers and visitors), and is not permitted outside the major public entrances, (i.e.: the Emergency Care Center, Main Lobby and Surgical Day Care).
