Elkhart General Hospital opens $83 million surgery center expansion, doubling the number of its surgery and endoscopy suites, according to an article on the Healthcare Finance News website.
A new surgery suite, post-anesthesia care unit and a helicopter pad were included in the expansion in Elkhart, Ind.
The new surgery and endoscopy suites will be double the size of those currently in use, with higher ceilings that will allow surgical equipment to hover over the medical team on movable booms.
Expansive surgical suites will offer amenities for families waiting on patients in surgery, and a hybrid operating room will combine imaging services and surgical procedures in the same space.
