Information about your stay at TMC Rincon
ClothingStorage space in rooms is limited. We provide hospital gowns and non-skid socks to wear during your stay. Clothing worn to the hospital can be sent home with clothing being brought to the hospital shortly before discharge. If you are unable to send clothing home, we have patient-belonging bags to help store items in your room.ToiletriesMost toiletries can be provided upon request—toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, brush, body wash, etc.Denture CareWe provide a denture cup to store dentures or bridges when not in use. The cup will be labeled with your name. Please avoid placing dentures on meal trays, under a pillow, wrapped in a tissue, placed on the sheets, or in any concealed place where they may be lost or accidentally discarded.Hearing aidsHearing aids should always be kept in the original case provided upon purchase. If the original case is not available, we will provide a container labeled with your name to store them when not in use. Avoid placing aids on meal trays, on bedding, or left unprotected on bedside tables. Additionally, we have a variety of hearing aid batteries in case yours need replaced.Eyeglasses and contact lensesGlasses and contacts are best secured in a case, marked with your name, when not in use. To prevent loss or damage to eyeglasses during hospitalization, do not leave them unprotected on the bedside table, on a meal tray, in a gown pocket or on the bed.Wheelchairs, walkers and canesHave your name on all necessary items brought to the hospital, including wheelchairs, walkers and canes. We can provide identification bands upon request.
Bringing medicationsPlease bring a current list of medications, including prescription medications, and herbal and over-the-counter medications. If a list is unavailable, please bring the medication containers for the pharmacist and care teams to view. Afterward, the containers can be taken home by a family member or friend, or stored by our Pharmacy until discharge. Medications, including herbal and over-the-counter, brought in from home cannot be kept at the bedside. If you have concerns about a medication not being available during your stay, please share this concern with your care team.ValuablesWe understand how important your valuables are, and we ask that you please leave all valuables at home or send them home with a family member or friend upon admission to the hospital. This includes jewelry and watches, cash and credit cards, wallets and purses, all electronics (cameras, cell phones, laptops, chargers and tablets), and any other item that would be considered a loss if misplaced.For patients who cannot have family members or friends take valuables, our care teams can secure them in a valuables envelope and locked in a safe. A receipt will be provided for collection of the items upon discharge. If you plan to bring any of these items, please label them, as we are not responsible for items kept at the bedside.
If you lose something during your hospital stay, please notify your care team immediately, and we will try to find it. While TMC Rincon is not responsible for patient and visitor personal belongings, we make every effort to find and return lost items to their owners. TMC Rincon does not replace lost, stolen or damaged items. Lost and found items are kept for a minimum of thirty (30) days. If not claimed, items are either destroyed or donated.To report a lost or missing item, please contact:TMC Patient Relations by phone at (520) 324-2836 or email PatientRelations@tmcaz.com
In order to provide a restful environment that promotes healing, TMC Rincon has quiet hours daily between 2 - 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. - 5 a.m. During quiet hours we ask that everyone lowers voices and limits noise as much as possible. During these hours, the lighting on the unit is dimmed, and deliveries and traffic on the unit is limited as much as possible. In situations where noise is unavoidable, earplugs are available by request and can be obtained simply by asking any hospital staff member.
Smoking is not allowed on the TMC Rincon campus. Smoking or vaping is not allowed within the hospital or campus grounds. We are a tobacco-free campus.

- allow patient to get rest
- provide a quiet atmosphere for a roommate
- remove loud or disruptive visitors
- When children are allowed to visit, they must be accompanied at all times by an adult who is not the patient.
- An unlimited number of visitors are permitted with the following exceptions:
