Surgeries that used to take a week’s recuperation now take a few hours. What will we change next?

We change the lives of 14,000 surgical patients each year — relieving them of pain, removing cancerous cells, taking out tonsils, adenoids and appendixes. We provide minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries, muscle-sparing techniques — even a da Vinci® robotic surgical system. And our surgeons share knowledge and insight with others from around the world.

What do we do next? Continue to improve patient comfort and our capacity to heal.

Your gift will:

• Create 10 new surgical suites and 11 shell spaces for future expansion
• Reduce surgical delays and rescheduling due to room shortages
• Improve efficiency and outcomes while minimizing recovery time and costs
• Install an air filtration system, reducing the risk of infection, as well as its financial and physical costs
• Expand waiting areas, private consultation rooms and family comfort

Your investment will help build the region’s most outstanding surgical facilities, further enhancing our nationally recognized patient care and helping us attract and retain the very finest surgeons and clinicians.
