About Ross Heart Hospital

The Ross Heart Hospital opened on November 29, 2004, as a hospital dedicated to heart and vascular care. It is part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. It treats patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve disease and heart rhythm problems.

Confirming the Building

The Ross Heart Hospital sits on the same campus as Ohio State's University Hospital and The James. Ohio State opened its new University Hospital tower in February 2026, and heart patients may be cared for in either building depending on their treatment. Give us the patient's full name as registered, and we'll check with the hospital before delivering.

Flowers After Heart Surgery or a Cardiac Event

Patients in a cardiac ICU or recovering right after open-heart surgery usually can't have flowers in the room. Once they move to a step-down or regular unit, a small, low-scent arrangement is usually welcome. If you're ordering in the first day or two, let us know. We may suggest waiting, or sending to the home once the patient is discharged.

Heart patients often go home with new routines and a lot of instructions. A cheerful plant for the home is a nice way to say you're thinking of them through the recovery that follows. Pick one that needs little care, like a pothos or a peace lily.

Same-day delivery: order early in the day, Monday through Saturday. We don't deliver Sundays. After drop-off at the hospital's receiving area, you'll get a photo from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I send flowers to Ross Heart Hospital or University Hospital?

Send to the building where the patient is staying. Heart patients may be in either one, so if you aren't sure, give Milano's UpTowne Florist the patient's full name and we'll check with Ohio State.

Can flowers be delivered to an ICU or intensive care unit?

Many intensive care and specialty units restrict fresh flowers, plants, balloons, or large gifts. Contact the hospital or ask the shop to verify the current policy before ordering. A non-floral gift or delivery after transfer may be more appropriate.

Do you deliver flowers to hospitals?

Yes. Milano's delivers to hospitals within its service area when the facility and patient unit permit flowers. Provide the patient's full legal name, hospital name, room number when known, and a phone number. The hospital controls final acceptance and movement to the room.

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 balloons be delivered to a hospital?

Many hospitals allow only Mylar balloons and prohibit latex because of allergy concerns. Individual facilities and units set their own rules, so confirm the current policy before adding balloons.

Do you deliver flowers on Sundays?

Milano's UpTowne Florist is closed on Sundays and does not offer standard Sunday delivery. This is subject to change for holidays and pre-arranged weddings or events; call 614-889-1001 to check availability for a specific date.
