Outpatient Pavilion

The Outpatient Pavilion at Terrebonne General Medical Center is an ambulatory care facility that provides low-cost services for procedures requiring short-term post-procedure care. Our goal is to provide patients with high-quality, low-cost, professional service while maintaining the highest standards for patient safety, convenience, and comfort.

You're in Good Hands...

• We provide detailed instructions on all procedures to help the patient and his/her family prepare for aftercare in the comfort of home following the procedure.
• The Outpatient Pavilion utilizes TGMC's state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment. We share the same main operating room facilities used for all major surgeries.
• Our professional ambulatory nursing staff is experienced in outpatient care. The staff is composed of specially trained registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants who receive continual education in all aspects of ambulatory care.
• Hospital and support staff are immediately available to meet any of your additional needs.
• The Outpatient Pavilion meets the requirements set forth by insurance companies, HMOs, and government agencies for procedures performed on an outpatient basis.

• The Outpatient Pavilion has an efficient, convenient pre-admissions process. The day before your procedure you will have an assigned time to come to the Pavilion to go through your pre-admit process. All of the required assessments are covered in one convenient location, which normally takes one hour. This process is especially helpful on the day of your surgery so that you can arrive closer to your surgery time.
• We know how important family is to patient care. That's why we arranged to have family waiting in the patient rooms, the surgery waiting area or in the Outpatient Pavilion family waiting area.
• The staff at the Outpatient Pavilion is concerned about patient comfort and privacy. Our facility has private patient areas separated from other patient areas by walls and curtains. Recliner chairs for "home-style" recovery are also available for your added comfort.
• The Outpatient Pavilion is conveniently located on Belanger St. with a patient drop off area at the front entrance to the Pavilion and parking close by for family members and visitors.

• Before each procedure, time is spent with each patient (in person or by telephone) to provide detailed information about the procedure to be performed, the required preparation, to answer any questions, and to clarify any concerns the patient might have.
• The day of surgery, a nurse performs a physical assessment and any other additional pre-op preparations before taking the patient to the operating room. Patient return to the Outpatient Pavilion as soon as safety permits. Once back in the Outpatient Pavilion, preparations for the patient's return home begin.
• After a patient returns home, care are made by staff nurses to check on the patient. They are available to assist and clarify any questions that might arise concerning recovery.
