Items to Bring for Your Stay

You should bring personal care items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, shaving equipment, makeup and tissues for your stay at Ellis Hospital. Although the hospital does not supply personal toiletries, most of these items can be purchased in the Gift Shop, located in the main lobby, if necessary.

Clothing

Robes should be worn well above the ankles, so you do not trip or fall. At all times during your hospital stay, you should wear rubber sole walking shoes. If you wear slippers, they must be non-slip and have a full back.

Please send home any extra clothing and supplies that you do not need. Don't forget to bring any necessary insurance information.

You are encouraged to bring to the hospital a list of all drugs that you are taking at home. Medication that you bring with you to the hospital should be presented to your nurse. Medications prescribed by your doctor during your stay will be supplied through the Ellis Hospital Pharmacy.
