We offer a pediatric preop tour upon request. The hour tour, which is led by a registered nurse, provides children and their families the opportunity to visit the Day Surgery Center prior to a scheduled procedure.

As a patient, you will receive a telephone call from one of our registered nurses the day after your surgery to make sure you are doing well and to answer any questions you have about your recovery.

Online pre-registration for a day surgery procedure is available through Concord Hospital's Web site. Patients can submit information, such as address and phone number, employer and insurance information to the hospital in advance of their procedure via a secure server.
