Get the building right first, because Hamilton has a trap in it that no other city on this site has. RWJUH Hamilton stands at One Hamilton Health Place, inside the township, in 08690 — it is a genuine in-town hospital, which makes this market unusual among American suburbs, and Mypetalpusher's Flowers at 2632 Whitehorse-Hamilton Square Road is a few minutes away from it. Meanwhile St. Francis Medical Center stands at 601 Hamilton Avenue, which is a street in Trenton, not in Hamilton Township. One is a hospital in Hamilton; the other is a hospital on Hamilton Avenue. Senders from out of state read the two names, assume they are the same place, and send an arrangement four miles from where the patient is lying. Brookwood Florist at 154 Ashmore Ave in Trenton 08611 is the bench for the Hamilton Avenue side and for the rest of the city. So the first line of the order is not the flowers, it is the building name plus the room number — and if you only have one of the two, telephone the shop before you pay rather than after, because a room number without a building is a guess and a building without a room number means a delivery that stops at a lobby desk.
Now the two questions that decide the outcome more than the arrangement does. Is the patient still going to be there when the van arrives? A hospital will not forward flowers, and a vase delivered at three for someone discharged at eleven ends its life at a nurses' station. This is a live risk in Hamilton specifically, because so much of what happens at the local campuses is same-day: the patient is home on their own sofa in Mercerville or Yardville Heights by mid-afternoon, and the house was the right address from the beginning. Does the floor accept flowers at all? Some do not, and the refusal is set floor by floor rather than hospital by hospital. Cancer and transplant care is the clearest case — patients being treated at the Rutgers Cancer Institute in New Brunswick are generally not permitted cut stems or soil in the room, and intensive care almost anywhere on the list above works the same way. The only reliable answer comes from the ward itself. Ask the nurses' station, or tell us the hospital and the floor and let the shop make that call before your money moves. When the answer is no, the family sitting in the corridor is a legitimate recipient, and so is the house, ready for the day the patient gets back to it.
