Bayhealth Surgery Center, Kent Campus was recently renovated to improve the workflow for staff and the patient experience.

Some of the highlights of the renovation include:

• Adding another operating room, bringing the total number to three
• Replacing the carpeting in the waiting area with new laminate flooring
• Installing a new heating and air conditioning system to create a more climate-controlled environment

“Renovating the center has made us more efficient so patients spend less time waiting,” said Lynn Truitt, MSN, RN, NE-BC, CNOR, nurse manager for Bayhealth Surgery Center, Kent Campus. “The changes also enhanced the benefits the center offers to patients, such as personalized care.”

Along with a quick turnaround time and personalized care, patients also benefit from a convenient location with easily accessible parking, and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

“We have compassionate and skilled perioperative staff who realize people want to return to their active lives, so efficiency and ease of use of the center are a must,” said Senior Director of Perioperative Services Faith Colwell-Dorio, MSN, RN, IA, VHA-CM, NEA-BC.

The surgeons using the facility span a wide range of specialties, including general, orthopaedic (adult and pediatric), oral, dental, ENT (ear, nose, throat), pain management, plastic, and podiatry.
