You're invited to attend our "Doc Stars: Backstage Pass to Surgical Services" Open House on Thursday, September 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Hammond-Henry Hospital, 600 N. College Avenue, Geneseo. An employees only open house will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Participants will explore a "behind-the-scenes" look - including the opportunity to meet our doctors, view videos of a robotic total knee arthroplasty, a robotic laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal), a colonoscopy, and a cataract surgery.

"People don't realize the incredible doctors and the cutting-edge equipment we have here at Hammond-Henry," said Melissa Braddock, Surgical Services Manager, who will be featured on Paula Sands Live on September 21. "They often think since we're a smaller, independent critical access hospital that we may not have all the amenities of a larger facility. This just isn't true, you will definitely be surprised."

The primary goal of this event is to offer education on surgical and rehabilitative services available here at the hospital. The four presenting surgeons include Dr. Mark Davis, FACS, Dr. Matthew Heberer, Dr. Mark Stewart*, and Dr. Thomas Rizzo*. Surgery nurses will serve as your tour guides, escorting you through two of the hospital's Operating Rooms, Endoscopy Room, the PAT (Pre-Admissions Testing/Family Living) Room, Surgery Scheduling, PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit), Surgical Clinic, and the Rehab Department.

There will be 10-minute stops at each of the five stations, with swag bags, photo opportunities, and light refreshments served at the tour's conclusion. For more information, call 309.944.9169. *Non-HHH employed, independent physicians.
