The gift shop is near the hospital entrance lobby and is stocked with a variety of items from flowers, teddy bears, snacks and drinks to seasonal gift items, noted manager Lynn Hurley. Gift shop hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The West Brew coffee shop offers locally roasted coffee, specialty espresso drinks and cold brew, in addition to an array of locally sourced hot and iced teas.
