During Your Stay
Fire Terrebonne General conducts fire drills regularly. If a drill occurs while you are in the hospital, you will hear the alarms and an announcement over the intercom system. Staff is required to close all doors on the unit and will instruct you to remain in your room. If an actual fire occurs and evacuation is necessary, the staff is trained to ensure your overall safety while still providing for your medical needs. Never use the elevators during a fire.
Leave Your
Valuables At Home If you have valuables, such as jewelry, credit cards and cash, please give them to a relative or friend to take care of during your stay. Store your contact lenses, eyeglasses, hearing aids and dentures in containers labeled with your name and place them in a drawer in your bedside table when not in use. Please don’t put them on your bed or food tray—they may be damaged or lost. TGMC cannot be responsible for replacement of personal belongings.
Fire Exits Fire exits are located at either end of the hall on floors 3, 4 and 5. If a fire occurs and evacuation is required, you are to proceed as directed by the staff to the nearest safe fire exit. Staff will direct you to the assigned evacuation area for the specific unit. In all other areas of the hospital, you are to proceed to the nearest safe exit to the assigned evacuation site.
Smoking Terrebonne General Medical Center is a smoke-free campus.
