Lab work and paperwork can be completed at this time. Tours are held every Thursday at 7 p.m. The 1-2 hour tour includes visits to the operating and recovery rooms. This is also a good time to ask the tour guide any questions you may have. She will clear up any misconceptions that you and your child may have about hospital procedures.
Light refreshments add a festive conclusion to the evening.
To further reduce the child's anxiety, parents may stay with the child in the holding room prior to surgery and in the post-recovery room following surgery. For a brief overview of what to expect when using our Outpatient Surgery services, click on our Outpatient Surgery Virtual Visit .
