Parrish Healthcare is dedicated to the safety of our patients, visitors
and Care Partners (employees, physicians and volunteers). Therefore,
weapons of any kind are not permitted in any of our Parrish Healthcare
facilities. In addition, we have a zero-tolerance policy for any act of violence.
Weapons and Prohibited Items
All individuals entering Parrish Medical Center, through both our main
hospital entrance and Emergency Department entrance, will be required
to walk through a metal detector or be scanned with a handheld device.
All bags (purses, backpacks, briefcases, etc.) are subject to inspection.
Parrish Medical Center strictly prohibits the following items:
Weapons (including, but not limited to: firearms, edged weapons and cutting
instruments)
Illegal Items (including, but not limited to: explosive materials, narcotics
and drug paraphernalia)
Electronic Devices (including, but not limited to: electric blankets, cooking
appliances, fans, irons/steamers, gaming consoles, portable space heaters,
hair dryers and hair straighteners)
Prohibited items are subject to seizure and removal.
Visitor Check-In
All individuals entering Parrish Medical Center are required to obtain
a visitor pass. Visitors are required to present identification bearing
their name and photo and have a legitimate purpose for entering the facility.
By checking in, you consent to the collection and use of your photograph
for security, identification and facility access purposes. Images are
stored securely and will not be shared with third parties.
We retain only the following:
Your photograph
Your name
The date and time of your visit
We do not retain any other information from your photo identification,
such as your date of birth, address or physical description.
In rare cases involving a serious security incident, our security team
may use our camera system to alert staff if a specific individual involved
in that incident returns to the facility. Any information used for this
purpose is retained only as long as the security need exists, and is then deleted.
Tobacco-Free Campus
As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a safe, clean and healthy
environment for all patients, visitors and Parrish Healthcare Care Partners,
we are proud to be a 100% tobacco-free campus.
This means tobacco use of any kind—including cigarettes, cigars,
vapes, e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco—is not permitted on any
Parrish Healthcare property.

If you have additional questions regarding security procedures within Parrish
Healthcare or prohibited items, please call our Security Department at
