The $50 million facility renovation began in the spring of 2021, HCA said. It now includes 15 private inpatient rooms, eight operating rooms and 33 pre- and post-surgery bays. Its infrastructure was upgraded to support thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal tumor programs.
HCA said the hospital now offers radiofrequency ablation of thyroid tumors and minimally invasive scarless robotic thyroid surgery.
