If you have an upcoming procedure at Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, you may have been told that you need a responsible adult to accompany you home afterward.
And that’s when you might realize…
“Wait. Who am I going to get to pick me up?”
For outpatient procedures involving sedation or anesthesia, you can’t just drive yourself home or call a taxi or rideshare. The issue isn’t the car. It’s needing the person.

What If You Don’t Have Anyone Available?
Not everyone has someone who can drop everything in the middle of a weekday to wait around for a hospital discharge.
Maybe you live alone. Your family could live elsewhere. Your friends may be working or looking after their kids. You might be travelling to Surrey for your procedure without anyone local to call. Or maybe you’d simply rather arrange dependable help than feel like you’re imposing on someone.
Whatever the reason, you shouldn’t have to panic because your procedure requires an escort.
