Surgery

Our surgeons and surgical staff are committed to providing patients with comprehensive, high-tech, compassionate care in their own community. A dedication to excellence and safety in the operating room is evident as the team works together for positive outcomes that enrich life through health for every patient.

Family and caregivers are an integral part of surgery as well. You will be connected with a surgery liaison and a tracking monitor that displays the current status of your loved one's procedure. A comfortable waiting area stocked with cookies, coffee, TVs, computers and Wi-Fi is also part of ensuring a positive surgical experience for everyone involved. Vending machines are located near the hospital cafeteria.
