Twelfth Operating Room Opens at Faulkner
A twelfth operating room opened in November at Faulkner Hospital to increase the hospital's surgical capacity. In the past 15 years, Faulkner doubled the number of its ORs, including the addition of four since the Faulkner/BWH merger. Plans are underway for an even greater expansion of the operating room capacity.
"This reflects an increasing demand for OR time and space at Faulkner," Pardon Kenney, MD, chief of FH Surgery, said. "Faulkner offers easy access for surgeons and convenience for patients who may prefer not to travel farther into the city for surgery."
The newest OR facilitates expansion of Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery and other specialties.
