Registration Information
Because we want your hospital stay to be as comfortable as possible, we believe it should begin with a smooth and expedient patient registration / admissions process. You may wish to use our online pre-registration process for added convenience.
To register for inpatient admission please go to Registration / Admissions located on the first floor off the main lobby. To register for same day surgery, radiology, or cardiology, please enter at the rear at the Same Day Surgery entrance. Same Day Surgery is located in the rear hallway of the hospital, immediately to the right. Diagnostic Imaging (radiology and cardiology) is located up the rear hallway on the left. Laboratory services are provided offsite at 2422 W. Pierce, Suite 2A in Southwest Medical Complex.
When checking in for inpatient or outpatient services, you may be asked to provide personal and financial information about yourself and consent to the Patient Rights and Responsibilities. The information you share with our trained admissions representative becomes part of your medical record and is kept confidential.
All Patients Should Remember to Bring:
- Picture Identification
- All Active Insurance Cards
- Any Advance Directive (Living Will, Power of Attorney)
- Come prepared to pay your patient portion including co-pays, deductibles or self-pay portion.
Pre-Admission Testing
Some patients are required to undergo simple pre-admission testing prior to admission. These tests are typically scheduled by your physician’s office one week to one day prior to surgery. For your convenience, pre-admission registration is in the same location as Same Day Surgery.
