Surgery patients are usually scheduled for an appointment with the Anesthesia Clinic prior to surgery. On the day of surgery, patients and family members will check into the Surgical Procedure Area (SPA). In order to familiarize yourself with these services ahead of time, please click the links below. Upon admission to the hospital, patients and their families are provided with a private room for preoperative care. When the patient is transferred to the operating room, the family is invited to a comfortable family lounge or other waiting area. SmarTrack is an electronic patient tracking system that communicates where each patient is during the surgery process. It is available in the family lounge or on any computer around the world. Loved ones can confidentially track a patient’s progress through surgery no matter where they are.
