Why are you sending?

Addressing flowers to a Mount Sinai patient

Put everything you know on the order. We always call the hospital to confirm before we deliver, and we can't deliver until we have a room number and the patient can receive flowers. If they can't be found yet, we keep calling until they can be delivered.

The patient's full name, the one on their wristband, not what the family calls them.
The room number, plus the area or wing if you know it. If you don't have them, whoever visited last probably does.
A phone number for the patient or someone with them, plus yours.
The address the hospital gives: The Mount Sinai Hospital, 1 Gustave L. Levy Place, New York, NY 10029.
For a child at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital, the hospital lists 1184 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10029.

For the room, or for home

A few days, or a few weeks?

Sunburst's yellow callas and ranunculus are for a patient who'd like the room a little brighter. In for a longer stay? If the unit allows plants, try an orchid, single or double; it can go home with them when they leave.

Questions about sending to Mount Sinai

Does Mount Sinai allow flowers?

Mount Sinai's welcome guide (from 2017, so it may have changed) says hospital staff take deliveries to patients' rooms, but neither it nor the visiting pages say which units accept flowers or plants. Some units, such as intensive care, may not, so ask the patient's floor before you order. No number for the floor? Call Mount Sinai's main line, 212-241-6500. We also call the hospital to confirm before we deliver.

Can you do same-day flower delivery to Mount Sinai?

For delivery to the hospital, order by 1 PM ET: that's our same-day guideline for hospitals and offices, because front desks can stop taking deliveries in the late afternoon. Being close to the shop doesn't move it. After 1 PM we'll still try, so call the shop right after you order and we'll check whether today still works.

Can I collect the flowers and walk them over?

Yes, and pickup costs nothing. Choose pickup and the day at checkout, then collect them at 1379 Madison: weekdays 9:30 AM to 7 PM, weekends 10 AM to 6 PM. Picking up today? Call first so we can check. From the shop, walk north; the hospital's main entrances are 1468 Madison Avenue and 1190 Fifth Avenue.

Can I send flowers to new parents at Mount Sinai?

Check with the floor before you order. The hospital's visiting page gives postpartum and the NICU their own visitor limits, but those rules don't mention flowers, so the floor is the one to ask. If flowers are a no, send them to the apartment for the day they get home: one less thing to carry out with the baby.

Someone has died at Mount Sinai. Where should flowers go?

We're sorry. Flowers now usually go to the family, at their home or at the service, rather than the hospital. Our sympathy guide explains how to choose.

Can you send other gifts with the flowers?

We're a florist: flowers and plants, plus a small succulent bowl or mini orchid you can add on a design's page. Mount Sinai's own gift shop may have other gifts; you can reach it at 212-241-0542.
