The new center includes 15 day-surgery rooms and a new surgical equipment cleaning area with new, more technologically ad- vanced sterilization equip- ment that will save staff time. It also includes two fully operational surgery suites and two more that can be equipped for use in the future as the hospital’s surgery schedule continues to expand. Chief Operating Of¿ cer Jim Schlenker said the hos- pital’s former surgery suites were 350 to 500 square feet and new suites tend to be built to about 600 square feet. Good Shepherd decid- ed to make its rooms 700 square feet to accommodate its ever-expanding body of surgery equipment. “It’s very conducive to the personnel who need to be in the room to provide safe patient care,” he said. It also leaves plenty of room for the da Vinci Si Sur- gical System, which takes the surgeon from standing over the patient to sitting at a set of controls. The robot’s more precise movements and high de¿ nition camera allow surgeons to better maneuver inside the body, translating into smaller in- cisions, less pain and less scarring for patients. Good Shepherd’s for- mer surgical suites weren’t designed with such large equipment in mind, but the new suites have a designat- ed space for it. Also included in the $15.3 million expansion, but not in the tour, is a sep- arate central utilities plant connected to the rest of the hospital by an underground tunnel. All of the utilities necessary to run a medical center — including air han- dling pumps, medical gases, hot water and more — will be handled in the new plant.

Paola, who played basketball in college at Eastern Wash- ington University, said it’s always nice to win. “I put a lot of time in when I was younger,” he said. “Get- ting older, it’s tough. I like to play... I want to keep doing it while I still can — before I break a hip or something.” Takin’ It to the Streets winners COORS LIGHT MEN’S OPEN STAFF PHOTO BY JADE MCDOWELL 6XUJLFDOFHQWHUVWDIIH[SODLQKRZ*RRG6KHSKHUG0HGLFDO &HQWHU·VQHZVXUJHU\VXLWHZLOOKDQGOHVWHULOL]DWLRQRIVXUJHU\ HTXLSPHQWGXULQJDWRXU7XHVGD\ New Horizon: Edgar Garcia, Robert Bonser, Humberto Perez, Brett Bott MEN’S REC #1 H.I.P.E.: Landon Gammell, Garron Gammell, Anthony Landeros, Wes Persinger MEN’S REC #2 #RAWDAWGUSA: Grant Schultz, Jarod Gunning, Joe Gunning, Thane Pierson 6’ & UNDER ELITE Spuds: JJ Ross, Barulio, Brad Irwin, Luis Ortiz 6’ & UNDER REC #1 U Town Ballers: Jorge Campos, German Campos, Jonathan Rios, Jorge Corona 6’ & UNDER REC #2 Team Flight: Alonso Ortiz, Joseph Burns, Guillermo Ortiz, Quincy George STAFF PHOTO BY JADE MCDOWELL $PHPEHURI*RRG6KHSKHUG0HGLFDO&HQWHU·VVXUJLFDOVWDII VKRZVRIIWKHKRVSLWDO·VQHZODUJHUVXUJHU\VXLWH of the new utility work that came with the new cen- tral utilities plant, it almost would have been easier just to build a new hospital. “It really has been a tricky, tricky project,” he said.
