Admissions for surgical procedures are processed through the Admitting Department, which is located on the ground floor, north of the main fountain lobby, near the pre-hospitalization area. Please present your appointment slip to the department on your arrival at the hospital for surgery. The Admitting Department processes patients for both the Ambulatory Surgical Center and inpatient care.
