Nonsmoking policy
Recognizing our responsibility to provide a safe and healthful environment for those we serve, Providence Milwaukie Hospital has a nonsmoking policy. Patients, visitors, staff and volunteers are not allowed to smoke within the hospital. Smoking is permitted only in these areas:
Across from the main hospital entrance where a sheltered area exists with a bench and ashtray.
At the north end of Parking Lot "D" (near the crosswalk to the Annex building).
Patients who are smokers will receive support from hospital staff during their smoke-free hospital stays. With physician approval, patients may go to the designated smoking area. Information on smoking cessation is available from your nurse.
Identification badges
All Providence Milwaukie Hospital staff members and volunteers wear a photo identification badge with their name and department clearly printed on it. If you do not see a badge on someone involved with your care, please don’t hesitate to ask about the person’s identity.
