Sending flowers to Memorial Regional Hospital

Memorial Regional Hospital on Johnson Street in Hollywood is one of the largest hospitals in Florida, with 573 licensed beds and a Level I trauma center. It is the flagship of the public Memorial Healthcare System and shares its campus with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, which has stricter flower rules of its own.

For senders, Memorial Regional is one of the easier South Florida hospitals: the rules are written down, a local florist can deliver straight to the hospital, and visiting is open around the clock.

What Memorial Regional Hospital allows

Memorial asks visitors to check with the nurse before bringing gifts, flowers included, because some patients have specific limits. It singles out the Intensive Care Unit, and it adds that on some children's units flowers may not be allowed at all because of the children's medical conditions. It also suggests checking with the patient's family before sending flowers. So the rule is "yes, usually," with ICU and pediatric patients as the main exceptions.

Balloons are clearer: latex balloons are not allowed in any patient room because of allergies, and only Mylar balloons are permitted. Potted plants aren't singled out either way, so the same check-with-the-nurse advice applies to them.

Where the delivery goes

The simplest route is a local florist that delivers to the hospital. Put the patient's full name, room or unit if known, and Memorial Regional Hospital, 3501 Johnson Street, Hollywood, FL 33021 on the order, plus your phone number. Visiting is open 24/7 and quiet time starts at 9 p.m., but not all entrances stay open after 7 p.m., so a daytime delivery is more reliable. The main hospital line is (954) 987-2000 if you need to confirm a room. For late orders, check our same-day cutoffs.

If flowers aren't an option

If the patient is in the ICU or on a pediatric unit where flowers aren't allowed, a Mylar balloon is the hospital's own approved alternative. Cards, a small plush toy or a book also pass the check easily. A local florist can deliver a Mylar balloon on its own, or you can send flowers to the patient's home after discharge.

What to send to a patient here

For an adult on a regular floor, a medium arrangement or a potted orchid both suit Memorial well, and a local florist can often deliver either the same day. For a patient just out of trauma care, wait until they've moved from the ICU before sending fresh flowers. Our get-well flowers guide has more ideas.
