HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital sits on South 23rd Street in Fort Pierce and holds 497 licensed beds. It runs a Level II trauma center, a stroke center, a Heart Institute, a Level III NICU and a pediatric ER, so the person you are thinking of could be almost anywhere in the building.
The headline for senders: Lawnwood is one of the hospitals that actually writes down a flower rule. Most rooms are fine. Intensive and coronary care are not, at least for fresh flowers.
What HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital allows
The visitor page says flowers and other gifts are welcome in most rooms, and that deliveries arrive daily. It then draws a clear line: fresh flowers are not permitted in ICU/CCU. Nothing on the page covers balloons, potted plants or the NICU specifically.
So the question to settle before you order is simply where the patient is. A heart patient who has been moved from the CCU to a step-down room is a different case from one still in critical care. If you aren't sure, ask a family member, or call the main line at (772) 461-4000 and ask the unit.
For the units the hospital doesn't mention, general hospital practice is a reasonable guide. Neonatal and other intensive units at many hospitals keep out fresh flowers and latex, and foil (mylar) balloons are usually the safer choice anywhere. Treat that as common practice, not a Lawnwood rule.

Where the delivery goes
Order from a local florist for delivery to the hospital, and put these on the order:
- The patient's full legal name, spelled as the hospital has it
- HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, 1700 S 23rd St, Fort Pierce, FL 34950
- Room number if the family has shared it
- Your phone number, so the driver can reach someone
General visiting runs 8:00am to 8:00pm, and visitors check in at the security desk in the main lobby for a pass. A delivery that lands mid-morning has the best chance of reaching the room the same day. Trauma and cardiac stays can be short, so if discharge is close, consider sending to the home instead.
If flowers aren't an option
For someone in ICU or CCU, skip fresh flowers. A card, a small stuffed toy, or a photo printout for the bedside table are easy wins, and a bouquet can follow once they move to a regular room. Some families ask senders to wait for the transfer and then send something bigger.
What to send to a patient here
Trauma and orthopedic patients often stay on regular floors after the first days, where a compact, low arrangement fits a crowded tray table. For new parents near the NICU, a bright bouquet for the mother's room is usually the welcome gesture, while the baby's unit stays flower free. Our get-well flowers guide has more ideas, and what to write on the card helps when words are hard.
