Are there Special Needs Restrooms in Gonda? Pouchoscopy enema prep

Posted by skirstein @skirstein, 21 hours ago

I have a pouchoscopy in a couple months and need to do 2 Fleet enemas the morning of it. I've normally used the Enema Prep Facility, but there's not enough time between my blood work and the pouchoscopy. Are there actually "Special Needs Restrooms" in the Gonda building? If so, can I reserve one for the morning of my procedure? Thanks!

Hi @skirstein, and welcome to Connect!

I've asked that your question be crossposted to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group. Hopefully someone there can answer your question, or point you to a resource who can.

Hello skirstein. In the Gonda Building, we have a Dignity Room. This is private, wheelchair-accessible changing and rest area for patients and guests. It is located on the Lobby Level, down the hall for the Information Desk, and keys are available at the information desk. You would not need to reserve or book anything ahead of time. Please feel to reach out to Concierge Services if you have any other questions.
