The new facility includes eight new operating suites with four specialty surgery rooms, an 18-bed intensive care unit dedicated to endoscopy and cystoscopy suites, a post anesthesia care unit preoperative suite, a new pharmacy, expanded laboratory and future expansion space. Out of eight operating suites, six are fully integrated with the Stryker iSuite System, the advanced operating room technology.

Each room features state-of-the-art equipment such as the LED surgical lighting, touch screen control panels and monitors and cameras to enable procedures to be viewed from outside of the suites and provide educational opportunities for the medical staff.

The new 18-bed ICU features larger rooms, an open design with windows looking out onto the corridor, and ceiling mounted booms allowing for 330 degree access around all sides of a patient’s bed to better facilitate the flow of care.

Safety features include video surveillance to help medical staff closely monitor patients, bariatric lift systems, and specially-equipped beds designed to prevent falls. The ICU also includes two isolation rooms, new admission areas and consultation and visitor waiting rooms for patient, family and staff meetings.
