... at Southwest Washington Regional Surgery Center

We invite parents to stay with their child before and immediately following surgery.  Children may also wish to bring a favorite stuffed toy or blanket with them.  Please be sure to check with your physician regarding special preoperative instructions for small children.

• Do bring diapers and a bottle or sippy cup, as appropriate for the age of your child.  These will be used after surgery.
• Do bring a comfort item for your child, such as a blanket, stuffed animal or toy.
• Do plan to remain and SWRSC during your child's surgery.  A parent or guardian must remain at the surgery center at all times.
• Do not allow your child to have anything to eat or drink after midnight.
