dustry standards and best

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.

of guys who think they’re
Division I athletes, it really
shows,” he said. “The guy’s a
great athlete, and you always
want to honor those guys
when they come out here to
bucket with time to spare.
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.”

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.
However, Kolberg said
Good Shepherd and con-
tractors McCormack Con-
struction of Pendleton
were “fantastic” to work

Healthy Back Habits for Caregivers - C O N C L U D E D
TUESDAY, MAY 26, 3:30PM
Many adults spend a considerable portion of their week caring for aging parents,
relatives, friends, or other adults. According to the results of a recent study, the stresses
and strains of providing care to an ill loved one may take a considerable toll on the
mental and physical health of care- givers — including their back and spine health.
Learn healthy back habits to keep you safe.
Elder-Friendly Living: Modifying Your Home for Safety
TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 3:30 PM
- C ONCLUDED
No matter when the older person’s home was built and regardless of whether it is
modern or traditional in style, it likely was designed for young adults and their families.
As adults age their homes also grow older, but most are not updated to accommodate
the resident’s changing needs. Home adaptation or modification can provide friendlier
elder living so older occupants may continue to life safely in the comfort of their home.
