We understand that when it comes to surgery, there are several key factors for you and your family to consider. The most crucial aspect is the quality of outcomes and the competence of the medical team, including skilled surgeons, nurse anesthetists, and nurses who prioritize your healing and health needs.
Secondly, a healing environment before and after surgery can enhance recovery, and this includes comfort, cleanliness, privacy, natural light, and ample space. We have combined all these essential elements to create a surgery suite that sets a new standard in healthcare design, along with a top-notch surgery staff. And the best part is that it is located right in your neighborhood, providing you and your loved ones with the third important consideration - convenience and peace of mind close to home.
Surgical and diagnostic services at Orange City Area Health System Surgery Center include:
If you have scheduled a surgery at Orange City Area Health System, our surgeon's office will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for the specific procedure. A day or two before the scheduled surgery, OCAHS preadmissions team will contact you to confirm your arrival and procedure time and answer any questions you may have.
For same-day procedures where you will not be admitted to the hospital overnight, please make sure to arrange for a licensed driver over the age of 18 to be available to drive you home.
Upon arrival at Orange City Area Health System, please check in with the patient access staff at the main entrance. A staff member will then accompany you to your room. Once you are settled in, your assigned nurse will ensure that you are comfortable and fully prepared for your procedure.
The time it will take for you to recover after your procedure will depend on the type of anesthesia or sedation you received. Depending on the type of procedure and your personal health, you may be discharged from the hospital on the same day, or you may need to stay for inpatient care.
If you have any further questions regarding your preparation, the procedure, or any other concerns, please contact our team. If you need to cancel or reschedule your procedure, please make sure to do so at least 24-36 hours in advance.
