Whether you’re coming for a same-day procedure or an overnight stay, here’s what you can do to make your check-in go smoothly:
- Pay attention to any dietary restrictions. Some procedures require you to fast for a specific period of time beforehand.
- Only take your regular daily medicines as directed by your doctor.
- If you’ll be with us overnight, pack what makes you comfortable – toiletries, slippers, a book, phone numbers.
- Bring any forms that have been given or sent to you, and please complete them before you arrive.
- Bring your insurance card and/or Medicare card, if applicable.
- Call us at 320-864-3121 if you’ll be late for your assigned check-in time.
- Park in the lot by the hospital entrance, and be sure to lock your car.
- If you will be under any kind of sedation while you’re here, you must arrange to have someone pick you up after your procedure or hospital stay.
- If you bring family or a friend with you, they’ll be told where to wait for you, and how they’ll be contacted about your condition.
If you have questions about your scheduled procedure, call your doctor’s office. If you have questions about your hospital admission, call our main switchboard at 320-864-3121.
