Smoking is not permitted within any of the hospital's buildings.
Food and beverages are not allowed in patient rooms, except by permission of the area's charge nurse.
Cell phones may be used in the hospital but can be a distraction to the delivery of good care. For this reason cell phone use is discouraged especially in critical care areas including the Emergency Care Center, treatment rooms, Intensive Care or Intermediate Care, Progressive Care, Neonatal Intensive Care, and Labor and Delivery rooms. When using your cell phone, please be respectful of others and the need for privacy. Also, do not take pictures of patients, visitors or others without their permission.

Room number information is available at the Information Desk, which is located in the front lobby, or by telephone at (703) 670-1313. Patients have the right under federal law to ask NOT to be included in the patient listing/hospital directory. If a patient elects NOT to be included in the patient listing/hospital directory, we will not disclose that he is here to people asking for him at the Information Desk or calling by phone. Patients who asked NOT to be included in the directory and have changed their minds can let their nurses know, and can then be added to the directory.
