The new Emergency Department offers easier access to lifesaving emergency care when every minute counts.

Nearly doubled in size, our new Emergency department (ER) will allow our emergency medicine team to continue to save lives when time is of the essence. With 32 private exam rooms, our expansive ER features:

  • A spacious, welcoming design: Modern and comfortable waiting areas promote healing and comfort for patients and their families.

  • Easier arrival: Separate entrances for patient drop-off and those arriving by ambulance providing easy access to our ER.

  • Universal treatment spaces: Our treatment rooms are equipped to care for any patient with any condition.

  • Faster access to treatment: Our rooftop helipad enables us to transport patients immediately to the Emergency department or operating rooms below.

  • Integrated technology: Advanced imaging and other portable equipment is available bedside for more efficient care.

Operating rooms equipped with innovative technology

31 state-of-the-art Operating Rooms (ORs) offer advanced capabilities, all designed so our experts have the latest, most innovative medical technologies to continue to provide excellent care for our patients through:

  • Exceptional visualization during minimally invasive and robotic surgeries using 4K image quality.

  • Unmatched surgical precision through spectral imaging technology that allows our surgeons to accurately identify critical anatomy, blood flow, and detect cancer margins invisible to the naked eye.

  • Efficient care coordination, with the ability to virtually connect with pathology and radiology specialists without leaving the patient’s side during surgery.

  • The first of its kind movable Intraoperative MRI System (IMRIS) in the region, providing real-time imaging without transferring surgery patients outside the operating room so neurosurgeons can precisely remove brain tumors, accurately place electrodes during deep brain stimulation surgeries, minimize risk, and reduce the need for post-op imaging and additional surgeries.

  • Real-time communication with families using technology to ensure patients’ loved ones stay updated on surgery progress.

With direct access from the rooftop helipad, patients can immediately be transported to these lifesaving operating rooms, converted and prepped specifically to their particular needs, when time matters the most.
