Surgery Pavilion
Hints for Family Members

• The hospital tends to be cool, so a light jacket or
sweater may make your family member(s) more
comfortable while they wait.

• The hospital has a cafeteria where family members
can dine for a reasonable price. There are also several
vending room areas.

• Because of the amount of time it takes for preprocedure
and day-of-procedure activities, we strongly
discourage bringing any small children to the waiting
or surgery areas unless they are the patient.

• It is helpful to the Medical Center staff if you choose a
person who will be the point of contact for condition
updates. The contact person can also pre-arrange with
other family members and friends to call them with
updates at specific times.

• Due to limited parking and waiting area seating, we ask
that you please limit the number of family members
who come with you the day of your procedure.
