Finding Us: This surgery center is inside the hospital. Use free self or valet parking on the east side of the hospital near Penn Street and enter through door 3.

At this center, our surgeons and care team perform outpatient surgery and procedures, meaning adult and pediatric patients go home the same day as their surgery rather than being admitted for a hospital stay. Our team of highly skilled physicians, registered nurses and other qualified medical professionals help from prepping through recovery.

Types of Procedures

Your doctor and care team will schedule you for surgery in this surgery center, where we provide a wide variety of procedures, some of which include:

  • Auditory system: ear tube myringotomy (drain fluid and relieve pressure)
  • Breast care: mastectomy (partial), mastectomy with reconstruction to follow, lumpectomy, breast reduction, and breast expander removal and placement of breast implants

Technology and Amenities

The surgery center provides state-of-the art operating suites with:

  • Advanced lighting and surgical equipment
  • Interactive computer technology for the care team
  • Endoscopic and other equipment positioned on booms, so that nothing touches the floor — providing an increased measure of patient and staff safety

Patients’ families can use a patient tracking system on their mobile device to stay updated on whether the patient is in pre-op, surgery or recovery. Note: For pediatric surgeries, we offer a separate pediatric recovery area. Parents can accompany their children to the surgical suite and rejoin them in recovery.

Preregistration and Planning for Surgery

If you’re scheduled for surgery at our center, you should receive a call from our pre-anesthesia team within one to five business days prior to your procedure. If you have questions or need assistance, please call 605-622-5000.

It’s also important to follow staff instructions in prepping for your surgery. Please be sure to wear comfortable clothing plus bring insurance, medication and supplement information, and paperwork provided by your surgeon. Leave valuables at home, and if you’ll have anesthesia, you’ll want to arrange for a ride home. When you arrive for surgery, register at the registration desk near Door 2.

  • Infectious diseases, including COVID-19, using antibiotics and other medications
