Designing for maximum efficiency & safety for the medical specialties involved is critical. Hear from the architect, owner/operator and medical equipment planning team behind the new Steindler Surgery Center—designed for optimized experience for both orthopedic surgical patients and providers.

Speakers will share how their integrated planning from day one through construction, commissioning and occupancy resulted in a right-sized, high-performance surgery center capable of supporting higher throughput, safer operations and a markedly improved experience for patients and staff.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
