t Mount Sinai West in Manhattan, we just wrapped up a
massive $24 million expansion of our sterile processing
department that transformed the space from a 2,000-
square-foot nondescript work area to a massive 7,000-
square-foot high-tech instrument care hub, complete
with windows overlooking the bustling New York City streets. With
the many details of the upgrade still fresh in my mind, here's what
your facility needs to know if you're considering a rebuild or redesign
of your SPD.
