HIGHLAND HOSPITAL

• Highland opened its first hybrid operating room
for the vascular surgery program. This surgical suite
is equipped with advanced medical imaging devices
that support minimally invasive surgery. The addition
of a Siemens Artis Zeego machine, a multi-axis
interventional system, brings unparalleled flexibility
and expanded capabilities to the operating
suite environment.
• General anesthesia is now being used for high-dose rate
prostate patients in the radiation oncology department.
Patients can choose to receive spinal sedation or general
anesthesia, allowing them more options and improving
the safety of the treatment. A post-anesthesia care unit
$152,994 with two beds has been added next to the procedure
room so patients do not need to travel a long distance
after treatment for recovery.
• Annual funds helped Highland make a significant
capital investment in upgrading and expanding
its operating room capabilities, with renovations
completed in two total joint replacement rooms and
two more being renovated next year.
