Policies

As part of our commitment to providing a safe environment, we have policies on curbside assistance, smoking, firearms management, gifts and gratuities, and latex that we want you to be aware of before your visit. These policies apply across our health system.

Smoking Policy

We are proud to be a smoke-free healthcare health system. We appreciate that being smoke-free may be difficult, and we can provide support through nicotine supplements, relaxation techniques, and education. If you need assistance complying with our policy, please consult your physician or anyone on our staff.

Firearms Management Policy

We are committed to providing a safe environment and, therefore, prohibit firearms of any kind on any of our properties, whether owned or leased, unless the firearm is appropriately stored. Law enforcement may keep possession of their firearm provided they comply with established security parameters.

Gifts & Gratuities Policy

Per policy, our staff may not accept cash or cash equivalents, such as gift certificates from patients, their family members or loved ones, and visitors. People who wish to express gratitude or tangibly recognize a Concord Hospital employee may do so through a charitable contribution as part of the Concord Hospital Trust's Tribute Program.

Latex Policy

Latex balloons are not permitted inside our medical facilities to reduce risks to people with latex allergies.
