Whether your loved one is getting ready for surgery or recently gave birth, flowers are a beautiful way to show your support during their stay at the hospital. With the help of a florist, use the following steps to ensure your bouquet is delivered without inconvenience or delay. 

How Can You Send Flowers to a Hospital?

1. Find Out the Rules

At some hospitals, flower delivery will be prohibited in certain areas like the intensive care unit, where patients may have immune sensitivity. So, give the hospital a call and find out if delivery will be permitted to your loved one.

If fresh flowers aren’t permitted, inquire if they allow alternative options such as a leafy arrangement like bamboo or a gift basket. Also, ask about the best delivery times for efficient delivery and if there are days when they don't accept deliveries. 

2. Select a Bouquet 

Before choosing a bouquet, you’ll want to consider your loved one’s circumstances and relationship to you. For example, if they have a loved one caring for them, and taking them home, feel free to send them a large bouquet. If they’re driving themselves home, a large bouquet might be a bit of an inconvenience to them, so opt for something smaller. Additionally, consider the aftercare; if your loved one is recovering from surgery, they’ll probably want a more low maintenance flower, like an orchid. 

3. Confirm Delivery Information 

Before you give delivery information to your florist, you should also confirm it with a loved one and the hospital. In most cases, patients are moved during their stay at the hospital, so it’s often unnecessary to provide a room number. Simply provide the hospital’s address and you or the delivery person will be pointed in the right direction.
