Prohibited Gifts
For your information, potted plants and latex balloons are not available or permitted in the hospital. Potted plants can allow bacteria, molds and fungus to grow. Latex balloons are dangerous to small children and sometimes the balloons themselves can cause allergic reactions. However, mylar (latex-free) balloons can be given to patients. Flowers in vases are permitted in specific units on the Dallas campus. Please ask your unit nurse before ordering. Flowers are not permitted at the Plano campus.
