Day Surgery

Today, many surgical procedures which once required hospitalization are performed as "Day Surgeries". The patient pre-admits the day before surgery, they return to the hospital and are discharged the same afternoon. Not only is this more economical, but it also allows the patient to recover in the comfort of their own home. Procedures commonly performed are: Cataract Removal, Tonsillectomy, Hernia Repair, Breast Biopsy, Orthopedic, Podiatry, Oral, Bilateral Tubal Ligation, and Urological.    The Day Surgery Department handles all pre-admits for inpatient surgeries, and pre-admission on OB patients.

State-of-the-art equipment, laboratory and x-ray services enables us to provide emergency care of all levels, within our capabilities, to an average of 900 patients per month. Patients requiring immediate specialized care are stabilized and transferred to a tertiary facility.

Obstetrics/Perinatal Unit

Babies born in the Women's Pavilion benefit from the extended care our upgraded Level II nursery can provide.  For the uncomplicated delivery, rooming-in is offered, allowing mothers to keep infants with them in their rooms, or exercising the option of having our nurses maintain a watchful eye in the nursery  while the mothers rest.  Fathers are invited to visit at any time while other family members and friends will enjoy generous visiting hours.

The comfortable, safe atmosphere of the Women's Pavilion encourages family involvement at a time which we believe, to be the most special of times.
