Question
we recently recieved a azalea plant for a gift in the hospital and want to know if we can transplant outside

Answer
Hi Lavonda,  If you received it as a gift, I would think you can grow it in your area.  So I would say plant it outside in no more than morning sun then afternoon shade.  It likes acidic soil and may need additional water to keep it happy, it will wilt in the am or evening to let you know to give it a drink.  kathy
