The $14 million, 14,000-square foot surgery center is twice as large as the hospital’s older surgery department and will house larger surgery admitting rooms, a larger family waiting room and new recovery bays. In addition, new technology will be added to the operating rooms so that surgeons can focus on minimally-invasive surgery.
The 50 nurses and 50 surgeons on staff at LMH perform around 4,500 surgeries annually, according to the report. The new surgery center is the final phase of a $45 million project that was started in Oct. 2006.
