We would like to make you aware of our revised pre-procedure guidelines and our visitor policy.
Step 1: Preparing for your procedure

On the day prior to your Procedure: We want to perform your procedure in the safest possible circumstances to give you the best chance of a smooth recovery. One of our healthcare members will reach out to ask you about any illness symptoms. We are doing this as a precautionary measure so that we have all of the information we need to provide you with safe care.

Check for the symptoms daily prior to your procedure and notify us if you have any of the following:
-
Fever ≥ 38.0 C (100.5 F) last 24 hours

New respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough, shortness of breath, respiratory distress, sore throat, chills, muscle aches, loss of taste /smell)

Step 2: Stay flexible
​
Your procedure is currently scheduled to proceed on the planned date and time, but we also have to be flexible to deal with any potential changes regarding the capacity of our Center and providers. We would appreciate your understanding if things change, and in return we promise to keep you informed with up to date information with what is happening here at Centennial Surgery Center, as well as keeping your best interests at the forefront.
