Surgery Waiting Room

Your family and friends may wait for you in the Surgical Waiting Room on the second floor of the main hospital building. Your visitors should check in and out with the hostess in the waiting area so messages can be relayed from the surgeon and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) personnel. The hostess will notify your family when you are ready for discharge from PACU or when you are transferred to your room. There are private conference rooms for discussion with your surgeon. Because of limited space, we ask that there be no more than two or three visitors per patient. Additional visitors are welcome in the main lobby. The hostess can provide information regarding food and beverage availability.

Smoking is prohibited in all buildings on the Akron General campus. Visitors may smoke in the main court yard located off of the main lobby.
