5-Star Service and Amenities

The new state-of-the-art Avera Surgery Center is located on the fourth floor of the new Avera Cancer Institute building. Designed to offer one of the healthiest, patient-centered environments available anywhere, the surgical center provides five-star accommodations, focusing on a soothing environment for patients and their families.

Surgery Center Features Operating Room Details  
  • Great views in the recovery area with lots of natural light
  • Private Pre-op and Post-op rooms with monitors linked to a nurse-call system
  • We have the very latest technology in our OR's with equipment mounted on booms so nothing is on the floor, creating the safest environment for patient procedures
  • 8 Operating Rooms
  • 650 square feet in each OR
  • 28 Admit/Discharge rooms
  • Racetrack flow for safety and efficiency
  • 34,000 total square feet

Convenience

  • The center has been designed with many conveniences and patient satisfaction in mind.
  • Before your day of surgery, most of the preoperative work (labs, x-rays, etc.) will be done ahead of time so you can have easy access to the pre-op area and a very short wait time before going to your room.
  • When you arrive for your surgery, you won’t have to worry about parking. We offer valet parking 24/7.
  • We also have a designated elevator for surgical patients only.
  • We offer private consultation rooms with video streaming, which decreases the average length of stay.

Separate Pediatric Recovery Area

In the new surgery center, we separated young patients from the rest, providing a quieter area for recovery. For parents who have children undergoing a procedure, they can accompany their children to the OR as well as rejoin them in the recovery phase.

Patient Tracking Boards

One of the biggest amenities for families who are waiting for their loved one is real-time patient tracking. Tracking boards are displayed in the Bistro and waiting areas, and families are given a private, secure code so they can see exactly where their loved ones are. They can see if they are in the Operating Room, when the surgery started, ended and when the patient has returned to the recovery room. Families may wait in the main hospital, the Bistro, near the fireplace on the first floor or in meditation rooms.

One Stop-Shop Service

When you are getting ready to leave after your procedure, we know you are anxious to get home and settled. You won’t have to wait long to be discharged and you won’t have to stop at the drug store on your way home.  Post-operative medications will be given to you at the time of discharge. This service will make your discharge more convenient and will help keep our staff free as well.
