Laptop computers and other electronic devices may be used on battery power only.

Under no circumstances should pictures or recordings be made of patients, employees, family or visitors without their express permission.
Smoking
In concert with our healthcare mission, Mercy San Juan Medical Center is a smoke-free environment. Our priority is creating an enhanced healing environment for our patients and reducing the health risks associated with smoking for all individuals who work at and visit our facility. Being smoke-free means smoking is prohibited throughout the facility and on the grounds, which includes all exterior walkways and parking areas.
