Drop Off Items for Loved Ones
We realize that human connection contributes to healing, and our staff is dedicated to ensuring that your loved one is supported and cared for emotionally and physically.
What you can do:
- Stay connected to your loved one with technology – smartphone, iPad, laptop. We can assist patients who might not be tech-savvy.
- Send or drop off a card, a special picture, or other mementos to help your loved one feel connected to home. We will make sure they get delivered.
- Drop off personal care items that bring your loved one comfort. Please know that we will do what we can to protect these personal items but we urge you not to leave anything of high value. We can't guarantee the security of personal items at this busy time.
How do I drop off items?
From 8 am to 6 pm, drop your items off at the Welcome Desk at the 730 S. 8th St. Entrance.
