Renovations will begin in earnest next year, officials told Clarion Ledger. They will include remodeling the waiting area and expanding operating rooms.

“The renovations will triple the size of the center’s infusion room and redesign it for more privacy for patients and will bring the number of exam rooms from the current eight to 14,” Anderson Collier III, MD, a division chief at UMMC, said in the report.

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
