Located in the Hamlin Family Patient Access Center off the main lobby of Thompson Hospital, the Pre-Admission Testing Center (PATC) assists patients through a positive surgical experience by eliminating unnecessary delays and avoidable cancellations on the day of surgery.

This program focuses on individual patient needs and specific requests by your surgeon. A full nursing assessment is completed and labs and EKG can be done in the same setting. The patient may be asked to contact PATC directly to set an appointment or the Preadmission Nurse will call the patient to conduct a telephone interview, after their surgery is scheduled by the surgeon’s office.
Patients should always bring their insurance card, a complete list of their current medications, and a copy of Advanced Directives.
