Cellular Phones and other Radio Frequency Generating Devices Policy

All devices generating radio signal output power greater than 100 milliwatts (information is usually printed on label attached to device) are banned from use in diagnostic imaging rooms and clinical laboratories, as well as the following patient units and departments:

  • Intensive Care Unit (SCU & PCU)
  • Telemetry Care Unit (3S)
  • OR
  • Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
  • Day Surgery Center
  • Emergency Department

Cellular phones transmit even in the standby position, therefore cellular phones must always be in the off position when entering any of the areas listed above.

Latex Policy

Concord Hospital does not allow latex balloons inside the hospital. The hospital has asked local florists and retailers to help educate their customers on our safety policy which is meant to reduce risks to people with latex allergies.

Linen Policy

Bed linens are changed as needed. If you wish to have linens changed more frequently, please tell one of your caregivers.

Smoking Policy

We are proud to be a smoke-free healthcare facility and campus. We appreciate that being smoke-free may be difficult, and we can provide support through nicotine supplements, relaxation techniques and education. If you need assistance complying with our policy, please consult your physician or anyone on our staff.

Weapons Management Policy

Concord Hospital is committed to providing a safe environment and therefore prohibits weapons of any kind on any Concord Hospital property, whether owned or leased, unless the weapon is appropriately stored. Law enforcement may keep possession of their weapon provided they comply with established security parameters.

Gifts and Gratuities

Per policy, Concord Hospital staff may not accept cash or cash equivalents, such as gift certificates from patients, their family members or loved ones, and visitors. People who wish to express gratitude or tangibly recognize a Concord Hospital employee may do so through a charitable contribution as part of the Concord Hospital Trust's HALO Program.
