Altoona , PA — The James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center (JEVZ VAMC) is holding a ribbon cutting to present a new operating room (OR) – it is the third OR housed at the JEVZ VAMC’s Altoona
Facility. The OR is a newly renovated, 342 square foot net surgical space designed for Orthopedic, Gastrointestinal, Dental, Ophthalmological, Gynecological, Urological, Ear Nose and Throat,
and General Surgeries. “The addition of a third operating room allows us to continue our mission of providing Veteran-centered care – by allowing us to complete more daily surgical
procedures that are beneficial, and often times life-changing, for our Nation’s Heroes,” said Chief of Staff, Dr. Angela Rowe. “This new OR also ensures Veterans are continuing to receive
procedures expeditiously, with the most up-to-date equipment and technology.” The JEVZ VAMC invested $70,000 into the new state-of-the-art operating room to complement its two existing OR’s.
During the last three years, the facility has grown more than 60 services, added 400 team members, and expanded its infrastructure foot print by adding more than 70,000 sq. feet of
additional clinical and administrative space. For more information please contact John Harlow ([email protected], 814-943-8164 ext. 14842).
