Outpatient

If you are here for an outpatient procedure – or “day procedure” – we may ask you to designate a visitor to sit with you in your post-operative room and coordinate your discharge with our staff.

Inpatient

If you are an inpatient – or “overnight patient” – bring a bag with essential items only. These include sleepwear, toiletries, eyeglasses, hearing aids, etc. You also have the option of inviting one guest to stay with you overnight. Our staff will provide a guest bed in your room and help your guest order meals from the Southwoods Café. Overnight guests must be 18 years of age or older.
