Surgery

Update: We are expanding our operating rooms to improve access for your patients. Last year, we added four new O.R.s — two at the Ambulatory Surgery Unit (ASU) at LVH–17th and Chew and two at LVH–Cedar Crest. Two more O.R.s are scheduled to open at Cedar Crest, which will bring the hospitalwide total number of O.R.s to 40.

Also at LVH–Cedar Crest, a new seven-bay pre-operative holding area will soon open to improve efficiency and patient flow. Next year, seven additional recovery room bays will be added.
