Safety & Security
Medications
To safeguard the patient’s treatment, medications from home should not be brought in to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC) and the use of medications(s) from home is discouraged. Medication(s) from home may only be administered if prescribed by the medical staff. Patients are not permitted to keep medications at the bedside.

Valuables
We recommend you not bring valuables such as jewelry and cash with you to the hospital. Valuables should be left at home or with a family member. If this is not possible, they may be placed in a safe. WFBMC cannot assume responsibility for items of value unless deposited in the safe.
Please call the Admitting Office for this service at 336-716-3122.
Tobacco-Free Policy
Tobacco products are not sold at WFBMC, and tobacco use is strictly prohibited.
Fire Drills
For your protection, WFBMC often conducts fire drills. If a drill occurs during your stay, remain calm and stay in your room until the staff directs you to do otherwise. The Medical Center is a fire-resistant building and staff is trained in fire protection. Elevators should not be used if a fire is suspected.
