The Vernon Health Surgical Experience

Overview of Your Care

At Vernon Health, we believe patients and families should feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the surgical process. Before your procedure, our team explains what to expect, how to prepare, and how to care for yourself once you return home. We encourage questions at any point. After surgery, our nurses closely monitor your recovery, including pain, breathing, and circulation. Whether you stay overnight or go home the same day, our team remains available 24/7 to support your recovery.

Advanced Surgical Technology & Safety

Vernon Health uses digital, voice-activated operating rooms equipped with ultra-modern technology to support precise, efficient surgical care. This environment allows our teams to work seamlessly while maintaining a high level of safety and accuracy. Our surgeons, anesthetists, and surgical staff coordinate closely with imaging, lab, and respiratory therapy teams to ensure every patient receives attentive, well-supported care.

We are proud that our surgical site infection rate remains better than national levels, reflecting our strong commitment to patient safety and best practices. This focus on quality, paired with our advanced equipment and experienced staff, helps us provide a safe, reliable surgical experience close to home.

General Surgery

Our general surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, including hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and colon surgeries. We also provide breast biopsies, urologic procedures, vascular care, and Caesarean sections. Every procedure is supported by experienced surgical and nursing teams.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery allows major procedures to be performed through very small incisions using specialized cameras and imaging tools. These techniques can offer less pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and strong clinical outcomes while maintaining safety and precision.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Our orthopaedic surgeons specialize in advanced treatments for joint, bone, and sports-related injuries. Care includes ACL repair, hip resurfacing, and total joint replacement using minimally invasive and computer-assisted techniques. Options like the double-bundle ACL reconstruction and hip resurfacing help support improved function for active individuals.

Same-Day Surgery

Our Ambulatory Care Center provides safe, high-quality outpatient procedures. More than 700 same-day surgeries are performed each year in areas such as ear, nose, and throat care; urology; podiatry; ophthalmology; and orthopaedic arthroscopy. Patients receive focused care designed for comfort and efficient recovery.

Additional Care Areas

Anesthesia Care

Our certified registered nurse anesthetists partner closely with your surgical team to ensure comfort, safety, and a smooth experience. Before surgery, you’ll meet with your anesthesia provider to review your medical history, discuss questions, and understand your anesthesia plan. Throughout your procedure, they monitor your vital signs and support your comfort and safety.
