Scheduling Your Surgery
You will be given a tour of our facility and a pre-operative educational meeting where you will learn what to expect before, during, and after your surgery. Our goal is to provide information to prepare you for surgery and ease any anxiety you or your family members may experience during the healing process. Topics discussed include where to come the day of surgery, pain control, anesthesia, respiratory therapy, equipment used during and after the hospital stay, and discharge planning.
We will ask you to pre-register in the business office upon arrival to the hospital to make sure everything is complete for the morning of surgery. We encourage family/caregivers to take part in the pre-admit meeting so they can be of utmost support to you during your recuperation.
Prior to the class you will see one for our pre admit nurses for an assessment, lab work, and any other testing ordered by the surgeon or anesthesiologist before the surgery.

stay. The Oasis Unit has eight patient suites with special accommodations for the comfort and privacy of our
