Change in admission date
You probably know there are sometimes emergency admissions to the hospital. Emergency admissions must be taken care of first. This means your hospital admission may need to be re-scheduled. We will do our best to avoid these delays and we appreciate your understanding. If you do have a delay, your doctor’s office will give you a new admission date.
