Collecting belongings
During the admitting process, Butler’s security team assists patients in selecting the belongings that are allowed on the unit so they may be brought to their room. Belongings that are not permissible are placed in a storage bag and stored safely in a secured area of the Property Management Office. When patients are discharged, they pick up their belongings in the Property Management Office. The storage bags are not to be opened until patients have left the building.
The Property Management Office is located in Center House, near the Sawyer Building lobby. Family and friends who are picking up patients may use Parking Lots A and enter through Sawyer Lobby. The Hospitality Suite is located to the left, past the reception desk. Entrance is immediately on left after entering Center House doorway.
Patients may choose to wait outside for their ride allowing for people to use the circular drive to pull up to Sawyer entrance without needing to park. Vehicles may not be left unattended.
Using RIPTA transportation
There is a RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority) bus stop near the Sawyer Building entrance. Bus Route 40 travels between Butler Hospital campus and Kennedy Plaza. For the most up to date route and schedule, visit ripta.com.
