Please talk with your healthcare provider and the Surgical Department about your needs. Together you can determine the most appropriate plan for your good health and recovery.

If You're Scheduled for Surgery...

A Recovery Room Nurse will contact you. They will get your medical history, do a brief physical assessment and help you schedule any necessary labwork or other exams. In addition, the Recovery Room Nurse will assist with the surgical pre-admission process and will keep in touch following the surgery to make sure your recovery is smooth.

Use this opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the procedure, hospital stay and recovery. If you have additional questions or concerns about the surgical process, please contact Deanna Thrall or Anna Sawyer, 541.573.8605.
