For many years, Trinity Hospital’s Same Day Surgery unit was located on the building’s third floor, adjacent to the Family Birth Center.
But today, following seven months of construction and remodeling, the SDS Unit is located one floor directly above that location on the 4th floor of the hospital. And according to the SDS nurse manager, Kim Rosencrans, the new space has had very positive reviews from both patients and staff.
“We average about 22 patients per day through this unit – nearly all patients scheduled for surgery start out here; after their surgical procedure is performed in the hospital’s Operating Room, many will return to the SDS Unit until they are discharged later in the day,” explained Rosencrans. The new unit features 16 private patient areas.
