Welcome to Hasbro Children's Hospital
For Your Child's Safety
 At
Hasbro Children's Hospital, we focus on the safety of your child
and our staff. To ensure safety at all times, please be familiar
with the policies below.
Fire Drills
We conduct fire drills to ensure the safety of all people in
our building. During a drill, a nurse will close the door to your
child's room as a routine procedure. In the event of a drill or
a real fire during your child's stay, please follow all instructions
given by the hospital staff.
Electrical Equipment
Please be sure that radios, tape recorders, hair dryers or
other items that you bring in for your child are battery-operated.
This is a hospital regulation.
Smoking Policy
Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the hospital, garden/play
yard area, or in any other building on the Rhode Island Hospital
campus. Smoking outdoors is restricted to designated smoking areas
that offer protection from inclement weather conditions. The smoking
area closest to Hasbro Children's Hospital is located next to public
parking lot A, which is just off the circular driveway leading to
the entrances of the Rhode Island Hospital Main Building and Hasbro
Children's Hospital.
Security
Our security department provides around-the-clock security. If you
have any concerns, please call 401-444-5221.
Identification
Employees, volunteers and students wear photo identification
badges that list their names and departments. If a badge is not
clearly visible, please request identification from any person who
asks you questions, transports your child or provides medical treatment.
Patients' families are advised to never allow their child to be
transported or cared for by anyone who is not wearing a photo ID
badge with a dolphin logo on it.
Access to the Hospital
For security reasons, you must use the Rhode Island Hospital
main entrance or the emergency department entrance after 8 p.m.;
all other doors are locked.
For more information about security, please call 401-444-5221.
