Write the campus and the ward on the order, because a flower delivery to any of them stops at a counter. Drivers reach a lobby, a ward reception or a volunteers' desk; a staff member or a family member carries the arrangement the rest of the way, and that person applies the rules. Three things get an arrangement turned back at that counter. Lilies are the first: the anthers dust a tray table orange and the smell travels the length of a corridor, so cancer, transplant and lung wards will not take them. Perfume of any kind is the second — a patient who is nauseated from chemotherapy or anaesthetic does not want a scent in the room, and the nurse will act on their behalf. The third catches everybody out: a potted plant, the gift that would outlive a bouquet by a month, is the one most often refused, because wet soil in a pot grows mould and a patient on chemotherapy or anti-rejection drugs cannot be near it. Water and cut stems carry no such problem. Certain wards decline flowers outright — the ICU, the coronary beds, the burn unit, the newborn intensive-care nursery — so ask somebody at the bedside before sending there. Frost Street shows the split neatly: a maternity room at Sharp Mary Birch is delighted with flowers, while the neonatal side of the same building will not have them.
East County's acute-care hospital, four miles west of the 92020 centroid beside Grossmont Center and the Green Line transit station, and the destination for most El Cajon admissions. Elidasboutique shares its 91942 ZIP; Florist Ofsandiego works from the Fletcher Parkway that leads to its door.
The next campus west, in 92120 just off I-8 below the SDSU mesa and a common referral from East County. Same furniture problem as anywhere: name the ward, keep the arrangement low, and expect the handoff to happen at a lobby desk rather than upstairs.
Where El Cajon's Kaiser members are generally admitted, in 92120 on the Mission Gorge side of the freeway. Bgs Florists Andiego at 7407 Jackson Dr. in San Carlos is the nearest shop at 4.6 miles from the centroid. Name the building as well as the ward.
The region's children's hospital, in 92123. Latex stays outside the building over allergy exposure — foil or nothing — and a non-glass container survives a toddler better. Children's cancer care holds the no-lily, no-planted-soil line as firmly as any adult ward.
The right address after a day-case or overnight admission, four miles back from the Grossmont door. Kerbside numbers on Granite Hills and Crest driveways, keypads around Rancho San Diego and Mount Helix, callboxes near Arnele Avenue — and a doorway that is in shade by two o'clock.
