Special Care For Young Adults 

Please refer to the Before My Surgery and Day of Surgery for further tips, as well as the guidelines on this page for young adults (starting at age 12). Following these instructions may prevent delays or cancellation of the surgery.
  
Parental Care
We require at least one parent to remain in the center during the surgery and recovery. Please do not bring other young children along.

Special Care For Special Needs Adults

We understand that loved ones who depend upon others for daily living require special attention.  Besides the guidelines in the Before My Surgery and Day of Surgery, the following tips, will help make care for these adults easier:

Consent 
The legal guardian needs to sign the consent for surgery and anesthesia on or before the day of surgery.

For Admission
Please bring the patient’s recent health history and medication information.  Be certain to follow the food and drink rules in the Before My Surgery section.

Personal Attendant
As with other patients, special needs patients require a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult to remain at the center from admission through recovery.  A personal attendant will be required to stay with the patient for 24 hours after discharge.
