No flowers at the hospital??? :-(

All,

In researching the James Cancer center (looking for wireless internet access - what else?), I came across the following from their "Patients and Visitors Guide":


Flower Arrangements and Balloons

Live plants and cut flowers are not permitted in The James because they may spread infections. Floral arrangements made of silk, paper, plastic or ceramic may be given to patients...Only mylar balloons are permitted; no rubber or latex balloons are allowed in The James due to concerns about allergic reactions.


Just a heads up in case you were planning to send flowers.
