medications

During your hospital stay, all medications prescribed for you by your doctor are supplied by the hospital pharmacy.  Unless special arrangements have been made by your physician, you should not have any other medications in your room.  If you do, please send them home with a family member or give them to a nurse for storage in the pharmacy.  At the time of your discharge from the hospital, please advise the nurse about any medication stored for you so it can be returned to you.  Any medication left behind by a patient will be disposed of by the hospital pharmacy.

If you need to have prescriptions filled after you have been discharged, you can stop by the RMH Retail Pharmacy on the ground floor of the hospital.  Your nurse will send the request down ahead of you if you wish.  The RMH Retail Pharmacy is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
