Sending flowers to Boca Raton Regional Hospital

Boca Raton Regional Hospital is a 400-bed, not-for-profit tertiary medical center at 800 Meadows Rd. in Boca Raton, now part of Baptist Health South Florida. Its strengths include oncology through the Lynn Cancer Institute, cardiovascular care, orthopedics, women's health and the neurosciences, and the state has designated it a Comprehensive Stroke Center.

For flower senders, this is one of the easier hospitals in South Florida. It has a clear rule. You just need to know which unit your patient is in.

What Boca Raton Regional Hospital allows

The hospital puts patient safety first and says so: flowers and balloons cannot be delivered to patients in the critical care areas. Everywhere else, the hospital's own pages talk about gifts reaching patients' rooms, which makes flowers on a regular inpatient unit a normal thing here.

What that leaves open is the gray zone. The hospital doesn't define which units count as critical care, and it doesn't separate latex from foil balloons or mention potted plants. If your patient is in intensive care, a stroke unit or another closely monitored area, treat it as critical care and pick a different gift. Patients in active cancer treatment are worth a quick check too; oncology units at many hospitals keep fresh flowers out as a general precaution.

Where the delivery goes

Order from a local florist for delivery to Boca Raton Regional Hospital, 800 Meadows Rd., Boca Raton. On the order, list the patient's full name, the room number if you have it, and the main hospital number, (561) 955-7100. Inpatient units welcome two visitors at a time from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and minors must come with an adult, so aim for a delivery well within those hours. If the patient has just moved out of intensive care, put the new room on the order.

If flowers aren't an option

For a patient in critical care, send a card now and save the bouquet for later, either when they move to a regular room or once they're home. A handwritten note or a family photo is easy for staff to pass along. A family sitting in a waiting room all day also appreciates practical help: snacks, a phone charger, or a meal delivered to the house.

What to send to a patient here

For an orthopedic or surgical patient on a regular unit, a bright, easy-care bouquet in a stable vase works well; some patients are getting up with walkers, so nothing that tips. For a new mother in women's services, think soft colors and light scent. Our get-well flowers guide has more, and the card wording guide helps when you aren't sure what to say.
