When people in the Portland area need surgery, they turn most often to Providence Health & Services. In fact, more than 45,000 patients have surgery every year at Providence Portland Medical Center, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, and Providence Milwaukie Hospital. At these hospitals, people find the finest services available for inpatient and outpatient procedures. At Providence hospitals, patient safety is a top priority.
To make sure you get the best, safest care possible, we need some important information about you. Before you come to the hospital for surgery, please complete and bring with you a copy of this medication history form and the health summary form. If the patient is a child aged 13 years or younger, the parent or guardian should complete the pediatric CAD instead of the health summary. Your safety and your health are important to us.
