Smoking is permitted in selected indoor locations and outdoor smoking shelter locations. You are asked to be considerate of non-smokers. The VA Medical Center and Rochester outpatient facility have a fire and disaster plan for the protection of both patients and staff. If you discover a fire, please notify an employee as soon as possible. If you are on a ward that needs to be evacuated, please follow the instructions from the employees.
Exit signs indicate locations of emergency exits.
Fire alarms are located near each exit. The Medical Center strives for a restraint-free environment. Occasional restraints are necessary. The least restrictive method will be used to ensure that the patient's needs, dignity and rights are maintained. If you have further questions, contact your health care team.
