The Prep Clinic provides one-stop testing for surgical patients. Following registration, the prep clinic nurse and anesthesiologist complete an assessment of each patient in a private room, where lab tests and EKG testing are also performed. X-ray or other imaging tests, if required, are completed in the unit’s state-of-the-art radiology rooms.  

The Prep Clinic is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.  For information about your prep clinic appointment please call 618-234-2120.

SATURDAYS: The Prep Clinic is closed on the weekends.  For Lab, EKG testing, or X-rays on Saturdays patients should register in Central Registration on the main floor of the hospital and will be directed to the testing departments after being registered.
