Visitor Code of Conduct

Please help us maintain a healing environment for our patient. Visiting hours and policies vary throughout the hospital. Please ask a staff member about the policy on the unit you wish to visit. We ask that you comply with the following visitor rules:

• Do not visit if you are sick (fever, cough, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting) or have been exposed to chicken pox (水痘) or other contagious (传染的) illness within the past three weeks.

• Clean your hands each time you enter and leave the patient’s room.

• Follow isolation precautions (隔离预防措施) that are posted on the patient’s door.

• You must wear shoes and shirts at all times. Clothing must be clean and neat.

• Visitors are limited to two per patient each time.

• Do not use waiting rooms on a unit if you are not visiting a patient in that unit.

• Waiting rooms are not for overnight stays.

• Children must have adult supervision (监护) at all times and must be respectful of the hospital’s healing environment. Some units do not allow children’s visiting.

You will be asked to leave for violating (违反) any of the above rules or for the followings:

• Your behavior creates a risk to patients, families or staff.

• You appear to be ill.

• You refuse to follow isolation precautions.

• You are not respectful or considerate of others.

• You fail to supervise children.

If you believe someone is violating these rules, or you need assistance, please notify security by dialing 7363 on the hospital phones or 813-844-7363 on your mobile phone. Security is available at all times.

Waiting areas are monitored at all times by a security video camera.

Five traps to avoid when starting communication with others

【小题1】 But you’re not the only one. If you’re worried about seeming confident or “natural”, you’re missing the point: Stop thinking about yourself. Instead, think of reaching out as an act of service.

If you’re talking to someone new, it’s generally best not to talk about weighty, embarrassing topics. For starters, aim for something simple and close at hand that you and the other person can observe together. 【小题2】

Once you’ve made a connection with each other, keep that connection going by making yourself easy to understand.

If you speak different languages, for example, slow your speech and pronounce clearly. If they ask you what you do for work, answer in a way that doesn’t take five minutes or use a lot of workplace terms.

It’s often said that people love to talk about themselves, and that asking questions is the secret ingredient to good conversations. But that’s not true for everyone. 【小题4】 so if you sense that questions aren’t welcome, back off.

If you’re talking to someone, talk to them. Don’t stare at the floor or look over their shoulder at another person. Put your phone away.【小题5】.

Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.

Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with enthusiasm for business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections.

“So I’ll give you an example.” Lutz says, “If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce lineup shiny, perfect, of the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesn’t grow the same way. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.”

For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came form his upbringing. “When I was growing up, my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.”

Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.
