The Acute Pain Management Program focuses primarily on pain associated with surgery or injuries. We provide individually tailored medication regimens to relieve discomfort with minimal side effects. For surgical patients, this approach may speed recovery and discharge from the hospital as well as reduce the risk of some post-operative complications. An attending anesthesiologist, certified in pain medicine will see the patient daily. A member of the Department of Anesthesiology is available in the hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
