Start by naming the right hospital, because Fort Wayne has a trap built into its own street grid. Parkview Regional Medical Center, the flagship of Parkview Health, sits on Parkview Plaza Drive off Dupont Road at the I-69 interchange in 46845. Dupont Hospital, which belongs to the other system entirely, sits at 2520 East Dupont Road in 46825. Two different hospitals, two different networks, the same road name, a few minutes apart. Saying Dupont to a florist is therefore ambiguous in a way that saying Parkview Regional or Dupont Hospital is not. The other two campuses are easier to keep straight: Parkview Randallia on Randallia Drive in 46805 is the older near-north hospital, and Lutheran Hospital of Indiana is out at 7950 West Jefferson Boulevard in 46804 on the far southwest side, with Lutheran Children's Hospital inside it and the rehabilitation hospital next door. Parkview's north campus also carries the Parkview Heart Institute, the Parkview Cancer Institute and Parkview Ortho, which means Parkview Regional is a cluster of buildings with several entrances rather than one front door.
Then the rule that governs this whole occasion: the patient's unit decides what you are allowed to send, not the catalog and not you. Ask before you order — the nurses' station answers it in one sentence, and calling takes less time than replacing a rejected delivery. Intensive care, cardiac intensive care and transplant floors commonly accept no flowers and no plants at all, because soil and standing water are an infection-control problem for patients with no immune reserve. Oncology floors, including the Parkview Cancer Institute on the north campus, typically say no lilies and nothing strongly scented — oriental lily, stock, freesia, hyacinth and paperwhite narcissus are the usual offenders — and no potted soil. Neonatal units generally want nothing at the bedside. Pediatrics at Lutheran Children's adds no latex balloons, standard policy at children's hospitals because of latex allergy, and wants a small footprint in a room already crowded with equipment and a parent's chair. Behavioral health units, including the Parkview behavioral service near the Randallia campus, often prohibit glass outright.
Two more cases worth planning for. First, outpatient care, which is where a lot of Fort Wayne treatment actually happens — infusion, dialysis, day surgery, physical therapy and the clinic networks spread along Dupont, Coldwater, Illinois Road and Jefferson. Nobody in an infusion chair can accept or store a vase, and those rooms generally ask for no scent at all out of consideration for the next chair over. If someone is partway through a treatment course, the right address is their home, timed for the evening of a treatment day or the morning after. Second, the regional ring: the widened 60-mile radius reaches Parkview Huntington, Parkview Whitley in Columbia City, Parkview DeKalb in Auburn, Parkview Noble in Kendallville, Parkview LaGrange and Parkview Wabash, plus Adams Memorial in Decatur, Bluffton Regional, Cameron Memorial in Angola, the Warsaw hospitals and Van Wert Health across the Ohio line. Those are reachable, but they are an hour out and an hour back, so order in the morning and confirm the window before assuming same-day.
