    Preparing for Surgery

    You must pre-register with the Admissions Department prior to your procedure. Check to see on which of the campuses your procedure is scheduled and follow the instructions for that campus. Our nurse facilitators and registration team understand that you have many questions and concerns and will assist you in preparing for your procedure.

    Some patients have found guided imagery helpful both in preparing for surgery and during recovery. Learn more about this relaxation technique.

    Read our Welcome Sheet on Pre-Registration for Surgery for important information about preparing for your procedure.
