The old operating rooms, dating back to the 1950s, were around 325ft2 in size, while the new ones are over 600ft2 and equipped with advanced technology, enabling surgical teams to provide more complex procedures for Franklin County residents and beyond. 

Among the expanded specialty services include OBGYN, hand surgery, plastic surgery, podiatry and more.

The next phase of the project will include procedure rooms, staff areas and more pharmacy updates.

The decision on expansion of surgical offerings was taken based on Carilion’s Community Health Assessment, which is undertaken every three years.

As per the assessments, greater access to specialty services and transportation had consistently come up as top-identified requirements.

Cline added: “Our goal is to remove barriers to care. This project is one of several we’re working on to address those community needs and reinforce Franklin Memorial’s role as a convenient, trusted care destination for our community members.”
