Patient and Family Instructions
(In order to provide you and your child the best quality of care please follow the guidelines below.)

Your Day at Surgery

  • Due to limited space we ask that only two adults, preferably parents, accompany the patient on the day of surgery.
  • Please leave siblings, or other family members at home if at all possible.  This is a very long day, there is no food or drink allowed in the surgery center, and no recreation facility in the area.
  • If you are not the parent and have legal custody please bring in the legal documents stating that you are the custodial parent. If you are a foster parent please bring documentation from a case worker giving consent for surgical treatment, anesthesia, and any emergency care needed.( ISD authorizations, Medicaid cards are not considered proof of custody.)
  • Please bring $4.00 as this is the parking fee in the adjoining parking garage.
