About the Endoscopy Suite:

The funds raised will help modernize the endoscopy suite, increasing space and allowing the program to expand and accommodate new operators. It will decrease wait times and improve efficiencies, increase access to treatment, patient confidentiality, staff safety, as well as increase patient, staff and physician satisfaction. The modernization will also allow for pooling of resources and will assist in the development of an out-patient clinic area to accommodate out-patient services offered through the surgical program.
