Strong Memorial Hospital

Your Belongings

Please feel free to bring certain items with you to make your hospital stay more comfortable - items such as your own pajamas, slippers, robe and toiletries. If you have any valuable or sentimental items with you, like jewelry, wallet, or purse, please send them home with family or friends, or ask your nurse to send them to our Cashier's Office for safekeeping. You may access those items any time the Cashier's Office is open: Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 8:00 pm; Saturday 8:30 am - 2:00 pm; Sunday 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. The hospital does not accept financial responsibility for valuables or personal belongings kept in your room or not secured in the Cashier's Office.

Likewise, if you wear dentures, a hearing aid, glasses or contact lenses, be sure to keep them in your bedside stand. Ask your nurse if you need a denture case or eyeglass case. Do not leave them on your food tray! The hospital will not replace these items if they are lost.

Appliances

For your safety and that of other patients and staff, please do not bring in electrical appliances from home, such as hair dryers, cassette or CD players, electric razors, TVs, or computers. They do not have hospital-grade wiring and therefore do not meet New York State fire code.
