St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital

Patients coming to STEGH for an outpatient visit to the Pre-Admit Clinic, Diagnostic Imaging (X-ray, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, CatScan) Sleep Lab Day Clinic, Ambulatory Clinic, Cardio Respiratory Department and the Laboratory, must first register at Patient Registration. Ultrasound patients, please report directly to the Ultrasound Department. Patients do not need to report to Patient Registration unless they need a green card. A Registration Clerk in the Emergency department registers Emergency and Inpatient visits 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

When registering, either at Patient Registration or in the Emergency Department, patients will be asked for information such as legal name, preferred name, address and next of kin.  Patients are also required to provide a valid Ontario Health Card. We also recommend patients bring any other insurance information, such as semi-private or private room accommodation coverage.
