What to Bring

When you come to the hospital, please bring:

• Personal items, such as sleepwear and toiletries
• A list of medications you are taking
• Insurance information
• Photo ID
• Copies of your advance directives, if you have them

Please leave at home:

• Valuables such as jewelry or large amounts of cash. We regret that we cannot be responsible for these items. You may need your checkbook or credit card at the time of admission, but please send them home afterward with a family member or friend.
• TVs, radios, hair dryers and other electrical devices.

Insurance Pre-Approval

Most insurance plans require pre-approval for hospitalization. You are responsible for working with your doctor to make sure you are pre-approved. However, once you arrive at the hospital, we will talk to your insurance company to make sure that continued stay requirements are being met. Please note pre-approval does not guarantee payment.
