Newly Renovated Hybrid OR Now Open

We've officially reopened OR29, a fully renovated hybrid operating room featuring state-of-the-art surgical and imaging technology.

It features GE HealthCare’s award-winning Allia IGS 7 imaging platform, which allows our teams to perform complex procedures such as endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), and fenestrated graft implantation with exceptional precision — often through tiny incisions or no incisions at all. The result: faster recovery, fewer complications, and in many cases, same-day discharge.
