The safety of the patient and their visitors is of prime concern to the hospital. To ensure the safety of all, we ask that you adhere to our safety regulations. 

McNairy Regional Hospital is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is only permitted 120 feet from the building. We discourage patients who smoke from doing so during their stay as there can be health consequences associated with this action. Smoking is prohibited when oxygen is in use. 

Side rails have been provided for your safety. If your side rails are up, please ask for assistance in lowering them or before attempting to get out of bed on your own. Patients who are able to ambulate, should consult with their nurse before leaving their room and not remove their hospital identification wristband for any reason. In addition, please ask for assistance when trying to get in and out of a wheelchair. We also ask that you do not use any appliances such as hot plates, coffee makers, curling irons, etc. in your room.

Patients should be aware that McNairy Regional Hospital tests its alarm system from time to time. Fire drills or emergency signals should not be cause for distress. Should an emergency occur, our staff is trained and prepared to respond to the situation.

Finally, it is important that you leave all valuables at home if you are coming to the hospital as a patient. In addition, do not attempt to bring firearms or pocket knives, etc. to the hospital. 

Cell phones are permitted in certain areas only. It is recommended that you use the phone system provided by the hospital or use a cell phone outside the entrances of the hospital.
