Starting today at noon, the traffic circle at the Emergency Department entrance will be taken out of service until November for contractors to complete grading and site work for the new addition for the Intensive Care Unit and the Kaplan Center for Surgical Services. Contractors have constructed a temporary ramp with a turn-a-round adjacent to the ambulance bay that can be used by private vehicles as a drop off zone for patients. A temporary pedestrian walkway will also be constructed across from the ambulance bay for patients, employees and visitors to access the Emergency Department entrance. Contractors have also constructed a temporary exit for ambulances to use. During this time, ambulances will pull into the ambulance bay as usual. However, they will then back out of the bay and drive down the temporary exit

Rome Health is starting a new video series called "The Heart Behind the Mission". In this series, we highlight and share stories from our staff here at Rome Health. To kick off the series we have Kelly Winnicki from patient access. Kelly is the supervisor for patient access and she shares a memory from working in patient access at Rome Health and how the assistance she provides can help to put a patients mind at ease when coming to Rome Health for a procedure they may not be familiar with.

Dr. Keneth Hall discusses how the new da Vinci surgical robotic system helps patients heal quicker and go home sooner with smaller incisions and minimal scarring and pain. The technology complements our surgeon’s expertise by extending the capabilities of the surgeon’s eyes and hands. The robot can be used for general surgery, bariatric surgery, gynecologic surgery, and urological procedures. If you would like to learn more go to https://lnkd.in/e6AkNsnh or call 315.338.7040
