Canyon Vista Medical Center (CVMC) reports that it has been “steadily bringing four previously offline operating rooms back into service.” Two of its ORs are now “fully operational, with additional capacity coming online in the months ahead,” states the 100-bed acute care hospital in Sierra Vista, Ariz.
“This phased expansion is already making a difference by helping reduce wait times, increasing availability for procedures and giving surgeons more dedicated time to care for their patients,” states CVMC. “By expanding surgical services locally, Canyon Vista is helping patients avoid the added burden of traveling long distances for care.”
The hospital adds that it has invested in new surgical tools, including robotic surgery platforms.
