A hospital stay- whether for a few hours or a few days- is often an anxious time. At Crossgates River Oaks Hosptial, we understand your concerns and will do everything possible to assure you a comfortable stay. Your physician will make preliminary arrangements for your admission, testing or outpatient treatment. Unless, of course, it's an emergency in which case you will be treated immediately. During admission you will meet with one of our friendly patient registration representatives to complete the medical and legal forms required for all patients.
