The specialized endoscopy room will allow for more advanced procedures like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound.

The endoscopy room design will help maximize patient safety during more complex cases, hospital officials told the Sun.

The new operating room will help the staff maneuver more easily during advanced, robotic-assisted procedures.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
