Admissions
At Samaritan, we work hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Preadmitting
We believe that admission to our hospital should be both simple and quick. The first step is that your doctor makes a reservation for you. If the doctor’s reservation is made a few days before your scheduled admission, we may call you for more information to make your admission faster on the day you arrive.
When you arrive
On the day of admission, you will come directly to the information desk located in the hospital lobby on the first floor. The information desk attendee will direct you to the admitting office.
Please bring your insurance card and two forms of identification with you (one form of ID must be a photo identification), as well as the name and phone number of your primary care physician. If a different physician has referred you to Samaritan for treatment, please bring that doctor’s name and phone number as well.
It is also important for us to know about the prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking, as well as any vitamins or herbal supplements.
