Learning more about the hospital environment can make it easier for new parents. This is why we offer a Private Tour of our facilities.

Pre-admission is another feature we have to help our patients. By getting patient information and other necessary information documented before going into labor, we hope to ease the process. Take a look at the Pre-Admission section for forms and more information.
Once your baby is born, there is yet more paperwork to fill out. Our Medical Records department is here to aid you in this process. For frequently asked questions and more, please see our Medical Records page.
Pre-Admission
If you think you are in labor, please go to the Emergency Room – Bldg E Entrance E2 on our Campus Map – and sign in. You will be seen quickly by a triage nurse who will establish you are in labor. If you are in labor, you will be sent to the Women’s Services floor–this process usually takes around 10 minutes. However, if your Doctor has told you to go directly to the Women’s Services floor, go as directed. Please remember that the front of the hospital is locked after 8:00pm, so you should proceed to the ER admitting area to be directed to the Women’s Services floor.
Documents
Many have found it helpful to fill out Advance Registration forms before the “Big Day”. You can download these forms using the following links: Pre-registration instructions and Advance Registration Form.
If you are unable to download and print the forms from home, feel free to visit our Admitting Department, which is Bldg B Entrance B1 on our Campus Map. The hours are Monday through Friday 7:00am to 5:00pm and we can be reached at (760) 499-3765.
