Same-day surgery center offers homey recovery space

N.Y.C.'s Josie Robertson Surgery Center provides patients a soothing environment


The new Josie Robertson Surgery Center (JRSC) in New York City offers patients a soothing environment along with technological enhancements, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The idea is that when it comes to recovery, there is no place like home. “The patients, we think, will recover much better at home than they can at the hospital,” said Peter Scardino, M.D., chairman, department of surgery, JRSC. 

The facility emphasizes natural light and views of the city from all private rooms. Located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the facility features sweeping views of the East River.

The waiting room is filled with private spaces for families to find peace and quiet, as well as options for distraction, dining and exercise.
