About East Hospital
East Hospital is part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and is home to a Level III Trauma Center. It offers orthopedics, general, vascular and plastic surgery, ENT, heart and lung care, urology, primary care and emergency medicine.
East Hospital or the Main Campus?
This is the most common mix-up we see with Ohio State orders. East Hospital is on the near east side, not on the main Ohio State campus on West 10th Avenue. If the patient's room is on the main campus, use our Ohio State Wexner Medical Center page instead. If you aren't sure, give us the patient's full name and we'll ask the hospital.
Flowers for Surgery and Orthopedic Patients
A lot of East Hospital patients are recovering from joint replacement or other surgery. They're often up and moving with a walker within a day or two, and the room fills with equipment. A short, sturdy arrangement that sits flat on a windowsill is safer than a tall vase. If the patient will head to rehab after surgery, a plant can go along with them.
Choose flowers with little scent, such as roses, alstroemeria, carnations and daisies. Patients recovering from surgery can be sensitive to strong smells.
Timing: East Hospital is across town from our studio, so morning orders work best. Order early in the day for same-day delivery; we're closed Sundays. When your gift is dropped off, we send you a photo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ohio State East Hospital the same as the main Ohio State hospital?
No. East Hospital is a separate campus at 181 Taylor Ave. Tell Milano's UpTowne Florist which campus the patient is at, or we'll confirm it with the hospital.
What information is needed for hospital flower delivery?
Provide the patient's full name as registered, hospital name and address, room number when available, unit or department, and a contact number. Confirm that the patient has not been discharged, transferred, registered under another name, or placed in a restricted unit.
Can plants be delivered to a hospital?
Plants may be accepted in some general-care areas but restricted in intensive care, transplant, oncology, or other specialty units. Confirm the hospital and unit policy before ordering.
Can you find a patient's room number for me?
The shop may ask hospital staff to locate a patient, but privacy rules and hospital policy may prevent disclosure or acceptance. The sender should provide the patient's full registered name and confirm admission whenever possible.
What flowers are best for a hospital room?
Compact, stable, low-fragrance designs are often best for hospital rooms because space can be limited. Avoid highly scented flowers when sensitivity is a concern, and consider hospital restrictions before adding balloons, plants, glass, or oversized designs.
Can you guarantee an exact delivery time?
Exact delivery times generally cannot be guaranteed because routes, traffic, weather, recipient availability, and institutional receiving procedures can change during the day. A service, visitation, school dismissal, business closing time, or other true deadline should be supplied with the order so it can be prioritized appropriately.
