Altru's Pre-Procedure Center's specialized staff work together to assist patients in planning a hospital surgery or diagnostic test. All hospital surgical patients receive pre-operative services to collect information necessary before surgery. This may be done at pre-registration or by phone. Please have a list of current medications and dosages available.
If you foresee a need for special equipment (i.e. wheelchair), please let us know. The best way to prepare is to take good care of yourself, eat well and get plenty of rest.
