Many surgeries can be done on an outpatient basis, allowing you
to come to the hospital and return home on the same day.
Registration for Day Surgery is conveniently located at the
Outpatient entrance of the hospital off of Central Blvd., and is
open Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
