Yes you can. The best thing to do would be to let your attorney know that you are in a medical facility and he or she can inform the court and deal with the issue. If you don't have an attorney (and if you don't you should retain one right away) you should inform the court yourself and provide the necessary proof of where you are. If you don't give notice and just don't show up they will almost certainly issue a bench warrant and you will have more issues to deal with than you already have.

Laurie is absolutely right

Inform the Court IMMEDIATELY or, if you have counsel, inform your attorney IMMEDIATELY
