Pre-Admissions at Highland

The Day of Surgery

On the day of your surgery, please arrive on time. If you arrive late, there is a possibility that your surgery will be cancelled.

We will make every attempt to keep you informed regarding your surgery time; however, sometimes delays are unavoidable. You may wish to bring a magazine or a book to help you stay relaxed.

When you arrive at the hospital, go directly to the surgery unit. Directions to the Surgery Center.

Remember to bring your insurance card(s). If you're scheduled to stay in the hospital overnight, pack a bag and bring it with you to the hospital.

Family Members

Your family may wait with you before your surgery until you're transferred to the surgical holding area. Your family can wait in the main lobby while you are in surgery. The doctor will call the front desk after the procedure to give you an update. If you must leave the area, please notify the receptionist of where you are going and approximately how long you will be gone.
