FL Surgery Center Expansion Breaks Ground in New Port Richey

Morton Plant North Bay Hospital has announced it has broken ground on a new surgical center in New Port Richey, Fla., according to a hospital news release.

 

The new surgery center expands the hospital's existing surgical center. It is expanding from four to six new operating suites and adding two new endoscopy/procedure suites.

 

The new operating suites will measure up to 675 square feet, replacing the current 350-500 sq. ft. operating rooms.

 

"With larger operating rooms, Morton Plant North Bay Hospital will be able to accommodate advanced surgeries for less invasive procedures," said Hal Ziecheck, Morton Plant North Bay Hospital chief operating officer, in the release. "More and more surgeries are minimally invasive which can lead to a faster recovery time for patients. We continue to be committed to the health of all of West Pasco, so it's important for us to expand our services to meet the health care needs of our community."

 

The new surgery center is expected to open in early 2013.
