- Laminar air flow for an optimal sterile environment in procedure rooms.
- High efficiency LED lighting provides natural lighting yet conserves energy usage.
- Glazed insulated windows were installed for optimal insulation.
- All HVAC, plumbing, fire safety and electrical systems are the latest technology to reduce our energy footprint.
This center has a state-of-the-art Fluoroscopy c-arm system that provides optional visualization for procedures with minimized radiation exposure to patients and staff.
