Pre-Operative

As a patient, you play a vital role in making your hospital stay a safe one by becoming an active, involved and informed member of your own health care team. You are encouraged to:

  • Speak out if you have any questions or concerns
  • Pay attention to the care you are receiving
  • Educate yourself about your condition, including medications you are taking
  • Participate in all decisions about your treatment
