Open house tours at NCH’s Day Surgery Center
Northwest Community Healthcare is inviting the community to take a closer look at the NCH Day Surgery Center during an open house from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Aug. 18. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to tour one of Illinois’ largest and busiest ambulatory surgery centers.
The NCH Day Surgery Center staff will guide attendees through the preoperative, operating room and recovery areas. Laparoscopic hernia, knee arthroscopy and cataract surgery will be displayed in the operating rooms. Attendees also will learn about a “nerve block” procedure that is frequently performed to reduce pain and improve comfort following surgery.
Located on the NCH hospital campus in Arlington Heights, the Day Surgery Center is a leading provider of outpatient surgical services in Illinois. Each year more than 200 doctors perform approximately 8,000 outpatient surgeries within the facility’s 10 operating rooms. The Day Surgery Center provides a comfortable and supportive environment for both patients and their loved ones. Features include state of the art operating rooms, private recovery bays and a full-service waiting room with a children’s area and computer work space with wireless access.
Light refreshments will be served at this free open house event. To register, call NCH HealthConnection at (847) 618-4YOU, or visit www.nch.org.
