The Anointing of the Sick
 
 CCC 1499 By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. 

"Any member of the faithful can receive this sacrament as soon as he or she begins to be in danger of death because of sickness or old age. The faithful who receive this sacrament can receive it several times if their illness becomes worse or another serious sickness afflicts them."

If you know you will be hospitalized for a planned surgery you should contact the parish before you enter the hospital to arrange a time celebrate the sacrament. Often the Sacrament of Anointing can be celebrated after Mass.  Call the Parish Office to make an arrangement for the Sacrament.

If someone is in the hospital, simply notify the Hospital Chaplain and they will make arrangements for the Sacrament of the Sick.
