What can I expect when coming in for surgery?

Your care will begin in our short procedure unit (SPU) where you will find nurses who are caring and professional. Our goal is to make your stay as pleasant as possible for both you and your family.

Next, our anesthesia care providers will assess you immediately before your procedure. We will explain options and work with you to determine the anesthesia that is best for you.

After your surgical procedure, if indicated, you will be transferred to the post anesthesia care unit. You will be placed on monitors until you are ready to be transferred back to the nursing unit to be discharged from the SPU, or back to the medical surgical floor if you are an inpatient.
