problem. We also noticed an electrical issue related to the
suction/vacuum system. Luckily, it was remedied quickly by simply
increasing the facility's amperage.
Our surgery center has been in operation for over a year now. To
get it up and running took an incredible amount of work, from
design to construction to daily operation. However, it was also a
truly rewarding experience. The surgeons are thrilled to operate in
their own facility. Their only regret is not deciding to build it sooner.
