Privacy

Our patients' privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us. The center provides the individual a private pre-surgical room where family can accompany the patient prior to surgery. Private family meeting rooms are provided for discussions with the patient's physician following the procedure.

We at Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center view health care as a partnership between you and your caregivers. We respect your rights, values and dignity. We also ask that you recognize the responsibilities that come with being a patient, both for your own well-being as well as for that of your fellow patients and caregivers. Please read and exercise these rights and responsibilities as outlined here. Should you or your designated guardian, advocate, or representative feel at any time that your rights as a Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center patient have been violated, please contact our Administrator at (815) 226-3300.

If custody or guardianship of a patient has been awarded by a court of law, original court papers must be presented prior to surgery.
