The primary goal of our surgical department is to reduce the need for area residents to go out of town for surgical services which can be performed appropriately at our facility. Judy Heilbrun, RN is the OR director. Three CRNA's (certified registered nurse anesthetists) are credentialed at KHS to provide anesthesia for all surgeons. Surgeons Currently we have two general surgeons, a podiatrist, an orthopedic surgeon, an ENT surgeon (ear, nose & throat) and an opthalmologist (cataract surgeries) who hold surgical privileges at KHS. Dr. James Plate continues to serve our community in the KHS Rural Health Clinic, with surgical privileges at KHS. Dr. Holloway from Western Surgical comes several times per month for outpatient clinics and sugeries as needed. Facilities During our 2001-02 construction and renovation project, a new area called Prep & Hold was added to our facility. It is used by all surgery and scope patients and allows all pre and post surgical care to be done in the same room. This area works very well also for monitoring patients receiving outpatient services. |
