Intermountain-owned Saltzer Health has opened a new ambulatory surgery center in Meridian, Idaho. Saltzer Surgery Center is a 22,500 square-foot center with five operating rooms and one procedure room equipped with the latest tools and technology and staffed by an experienced team of clinical caregivers.
The surgery center is a joint venture between Intermountain and community physicians.
“As a joint venture, the surgery center creates an environment focused on exceptional patient care while reducing costs to patients and increasing efficiency through centralized management,” says Ed Castledine, CEO of Saltzer Health.
The surgical suites are custom designed for procedures that don’t require an overnight stay for patients.
Located on the first floor of the four-story Ten Mile Medical Campus, the surgery center is adjacent to Saltzer Health’s medical imaging center equipped with MRI, X-ray, CT, Dexa, and ultrasound capabilities.
About 45 new caregivers have joined the clinical team at Saltzer Surgery Center.
“Our caregivers have many years of experience and a passion for providing care in a warm, friendly environment,” says Bridgette Berkeley, RN, Saltzer’s director of nursing. “We’re proud to welcome patients to our beautiful new center.”
