The Hospital and the Division of Gastroenterology celebrated its new outpatient 850 Endoscopy Center located on Boylston Street last week. The open house showcased the Center’s state-of-the-art facilities.
David Carr-Locke, MD, FRCP, director, Endoscopy, said the event culminated more than a year of planning. “This opening is possible thanks to a remarkable team effort,” he added.
The six procedure rooms feature dual flat panel screens suspended from the ceiling, which allow the physician and nurse to efficiently view the endoscopic images. These images can also be transmitted back to the main hospital campus for real time consultation with physician colleagues.
The 850 Endoscopy Center will accommodate the increased demand for endoscopy services. “We wanted an ambulatory site that would be ideal to serve healthy patients, who need to be screened for colon cancer and also provide a wide range of other endoscopic services,” Carr-Locke added.
