Admissions

On your day of admission, please arrive on time. If you are already registered, you may need to sign some final paperwork. At that time, an ID bracelet will be placed on your wrist. If it's ever removed, simply ask for a replacement. Papers/identification that you might need at admission:

• Medical insurance cards
• Picture ID
• A list of all medications that you are currently taking
• If you have an advance directive, such as a living will or a health care agent, please bring a copy with you. A living will cannot be honored unless it is attached to your chart. Find out more about Advance Directives.
