Our Central Supply & Sterilization Facility is the envy of
other similar units. Because, in his tours, Dr. Gelfant had seen how this vital module of a surgical centre was often an afterthought, cramped, and compromised, it was designed in so as to meet the highest standards.

Separate rooms connected by a “pass-through” allow
used and soiled surgical supplies and instruments to be decontaminated, washed and passed through to
the clean room where the surgical sets are completed, wrapped and placed in sterilizers, which are like large pressure cookers.  Steam, the traditional gold standard of sterilization technology, is used to ensure sterility,
but accurate monitoring of the effectiveness of the sterilization process must also be done.  Frequent tests with a bacteria kill are done and every load sterilized is logged to ensure quality control.

At the end of the surgical day, the work isn't completed until the rooms are ready for the next day.  Housekeeping in a surgery centre demands the utmost attention to detail. 

The walls are washed regularly, all surfaces are disinfected, beds are made, the laundry is done with special care, and the floors are cleaned.

The centre is proud to have Elena Jackson on staff with us, quietly behind the scenes, keeping our facility looking like the kind of place we would be comfortable and confident having surgery even if it was on ourselves.
