Safety in the Hospital

Safety in Your Room

All materials in your room are flame resistant, the beds have side rails and the bathrooms are equipped with safety handles and bars - all of which has your safety in mind. In addition, each room has an easily accessable nurse-call button. Your nurse will show you where this is located and how to use it.

Safety with Equipment

As a health care facility, DMH must adhere to strict electrical codes. Therefore, please don't bring personal radios, hair dryers, or other electrical appliances that may not conform to our safety requirements. Also, the use of cellular phones is prohibited on hospital grounds due to potential interference with medical equipment.

Your valuables

Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for valuable personal items kept in your hospital room. We suggest that you leave jewelry, credit cards, money, unnecessary clothing, and other valuables at home.
