What kind of flowers are appropriate for Children's National, Lombardi Cancer Center, Schar Cancer Institute, or other immunocompromised hospital floors?
+
Children's National + Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Georgetown + GW Cancer Center + Schar Cancer Institute Inova + Holy Cross Germantown Cancer Center + Hopkins Sibley Cancer Center + MedStar Burn Center have the strictest protocols in the Capital Region: **NO lily of any variety** (pollen + scent allergy risk + fungal spore risk in immunocompromised), **NO flowering plants** (potted plants carry fungal soil pathogens — risk for neutropenic patients), **NO strongly scented flowers** (stargazer + hyacinth + freesia in heavy quantity), **NO heavy pollen flowers** (lily + sunflower in large quantity for ICU). What works: **cut-arrangement only** (no potted plants) in cheerful palette — gerbera daisy + alstroemeria + chrysanthemum + spray-rose + standard rose + carnation + sweet William + scabiosa + stock in low-scent varieties. Designs in ceramic or glass vessel (no soil). Our 5 anchor studios default to immunocompromised-safe design for these floors without you having to specify.
What if I'm not sure which DC hospital floor the patient is on?
+
Tell the studio the patient name + hospital + that you don't know the floor — they'll have the front-desk + nursing coordinator route the delivery. DC hospital front desks all maintain current admission rosters. If the patient is in ICU + MICU + CCU + the MedStar Burn Center + Walter Reed presidential medical care floor, the floor will have specific access protocols — the studio handles that coordination. If you do know the floor — give them that, it speeds up the drop-off by 20-30 minutes.
What's the delivery fee for DC hospital get-well?
+
Standard same-day DC hospital get-well delivery is $9.99 (Georgetown + GW + MedStar Washington + Children's National + Sibley + Howard + United Medical Center + National Rehab). Premium tier ($14.99) applies for: ICU + MICU + CCU + MedStar Burn Center + Walter Reed coordination, Walter Reed Bethesda + Inova Fairfax + Inova Alexandria + Inova Fair Oaks + Inova Loudoun + Inova Mount Vernon + Suburban Bethesda + Holy Cross Silver Spring + Holy Cross Germantown + Adventist Shady Grove + White Oak + Fort Washington + MedStar Montgomery + Southern Maryland + Reston + StoneSprings + Virginia Hospital Center Arlington out-of-area routes, post-cutoff emergency drop-off, no-floor-number admission roster lookup.
Can I send a get-well plant arrangement instead of cut flowers?
+
Yes — for non-immunocompromised floors. **Approved plant arrangements** work great for general post-surgery + birthing floors + orthopedic + cardiac recovery (MedStar Washington Cardiac step-down + GW general + Georgetown general + Sibley general + Suburban + Holy Cross + Adventist + Inova general + Virginia Hospital Center + Reston general orthopedic + cardiac step-down floors). **Not approved** for Children's National + Lombardi Cancer Center + GW Cancer Center + Schar Cancer Institute + Holy Cross Germantown Cancer Center + Hopkins Sibley Cancer Center + MedStar Burn Center + any neutropenic patient — those floors require cut-arrangement only.
