Day Surgery

The Day Surgery Unit is for patients having a surgical or other interventional procedure who will return home the same day. This information will make your short stay with us, and that of waiting loved ones, as comfortable as possible.

Learn how to prepare for your Day Surgery with this comprehensive guide, also available in Spanish.
