Bonnie Tonneson

(Write “Patient Mail” in the lower right
corner of the envelope.)

Letters, books, magazines, DVDs, and CDs are appreciated. Bonnie especially likes to read through cookbooks and other books that have short chapters. No fresh flowers (silk = o.k.) or food can be sent to her room.

You can also write Bonnie a note through the hospital website and it will be delivered to Bonnie within one business day (M-F). Click here to send a note.

Bonnie can receive visitors, but it is sometimes exhausting for her. It is really important that you call her to pre-arrange a visit (Bonnie's cel: 415 602-3847; Hospital switchboard: 415 353-1664). Her energy level fluctuates from hour to hour depending on what medication she has received, so flexibility is important. If you are unsure about whether you should visit or not, it probably makes sense to go the cards, letter and "care package" route, as Bonnie will know you care, but can still get some rest.
