Post-Operative Care
After surgery, your nurse will assist you in your recovery, monitoring your vital signs and pain level and helping you be comfortable.
Depending on your procedure and your health, you may complete your recovery in the post-anesthesia recovery part of our Surgery Center. Or we may take you to a private room in our Recovery Center where you can stay one or more nights.
If you are going home after surgery, you may have juice, a snack, and get to see family or friends. When you are ready, your nurse will give you more information for home care, and you will be on your way home. Usually, your stay with us is between 2 to 4 hours -- including surgery.
Recovery Center
If you need more nursing and medical care after surgery, your doctor will discuss this with you. We have 10 comfortable, private recovery rooms. When you are in your room, you will receive additional postoperative care and instruction to help the healing process.
Your time in the Recovery Center may include exercise instruction and physical or occupational therapy.
Visitors are welcome from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Flowers, balloons, and gifts are always welcome.
