    Pre-Registration for Surgery - Mills-Peninsula

    What Is Pre-Registration?
    Pre-registration is a two-step process that you must complete before having surgery, a test or procedure at Mills-Peninsula.

    If you do not speak English, speak limited English or are hearing impaired, please tell your doctor’s office to notify us so that an interpreter can be scheduled.

    Step 1: Pre-Registration

    You will be contacted by the Admitting Department for an appointment with a registered nurse. That appointment will be by phone or in person.
