Becoming a Patient
APPOINTMENT FORM | REQUEST MORE INFORMATION
Appointments - The staff will attempt to schedule treatments and physician visits at your convenience based on availability. Your ongoing visits can be scheduled in advance, if desired.
When patients and families come to the KishHealth Cancer Care Services for the first time we ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete forms. We ask that you bring the following items:
- Medical records - If tests were completed at a facility other than Kishwaukee Community Hospital:
- Lab and treatment information to date
- Pathology slides and reports
- Chest X-rays and reports
- CATscans, MRI scans and reports
- Operative reports, if appropriate
- Insurance Card
- List of medications and dose currently taking
- Download and complete these forms prior to arriving for your first appointment
We encourage you to discuss what to bring with the person who schedules your appointment for you. You will be asked to verify insurance coverage and instructed to secure a referral from your primary care physician, if appropriate.
Visits to Center - Each time you arrive, check in with the receptionist at the desk and have a seat in our comfortable reception area. A staff member will call you to come back for your physician visit or treatment, when ready. If you have tests not done at Kishwaukee Hospital, request the results to be sent to us by mail or fax.
Interpreters - KCH has staff available to provide interpretation services for our Spanish speaking patients. When the Spanish interpreters are not available, or assistance with other languages is needed, we can use foreign language interpreters through a telephone system.
