Operating Room

The surgical suite is comprised of two operating room theatres, one endoscopy suite and a recovery room. The operating room is used by several surgeons, including two full-time general surgeons. Surgical services are supported by both full-time and associate anesthetists and provide services for both inpatients and outpatients.

Coverage is provided 24 hours a day by on-call physicians and nurses. Booked surgical cases are done Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In addition, surgical relations are provided by Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville, Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket and Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie.
