needed through-out the course of your treatment.
Can my family visit me while I am
in the Ambulatory Care Department?

(1) Limited visits to provide patient privacy, (2) Limited to family members that are not
ill themselves, and (3) Limited to family members that are not disruptive to other guests.
Can my family be with me during my procedure?
No. This is a safety issue. The concern during a procedure is for
the patient and all attention is directed to the patient. However, your family can visit
you as soon as your condition allows and is encouraged to stay with you until you are
discharged.

In one of our designated waiting areas. We have volunteers available
to answer any questions they may have while you are in your procedure.
Can I drive myself home after my procedure?
Yes, if you did not receive sedation. If you had a narcotic,
however, you will need someone else to drive you home.
Should I bring my home medications?
Yes, this will enable the staff to more accurately formulate your
plan of care.
Can I fill my prescriptions at the hospital pharmacy?
No, the hospital does not have a retail pharmacy permit because we
are a non-profit organization.
May I wear my underclothes during my procedure?
No. Clothes become an obstruction
to patient care during the procedure. Every attempt is made to promote patient
privacy and dignity.
What can I expect the day after my procedure?
This question would be answered
on a patient-to-patient basis. Each procedure and each patient is different.
We would answer it to the best of our ability with the resources available.
If I live alone is there any transportation provided by the
hospital?
Yes, we have a transportation service and the number is
