Food
In the Emergency Department, meals are available to patients. Please ask your nurse if you may eat, as certain medical conditions or upcoming tests may require that your stomach be empty. Your family may also purchase food and beverages from the hospital cafeteria, the Bishop's Pantry, or from vending machines that are located near the emergency department.

Valuables and Personal Belongings
Please help us protect your valuables and personal belongings while you are here by taking these precautions: Leave valuable jewelry or watches at home as well as billfolds or pocketbooks containing large amounts of money. Ask your nurse to lock small valuable items in the hospital safe. Personal belonging bags for your clothing are available from your nurse, who also will be glad to provide you a case to protect your glasses when you're not wearing them. Please do not wrap dentures or hearing aids in tissue and place them on your food tray, bedside table or night stand. They are easily mistaken for trash. And finally, remember to label all your containers or bags with your name and room number.
