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.
