St Elizabeth's Hospital of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St Fr ancis

Surgical Services: HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital's state-of-the-art hospital provides the newest and most advanced equipment and integrated technologies. The new building also allows for future medical innovations and easy upgrades in technology. With highly-trained and experienced surgeons on staff, numerous surgical and non-surgical procedures are offered in a wide range of specialties, including: cardiothoracic, orthopedic, urology, neurosurgery, podiatry, general surgery and more. The hospital has nine Operating Rooms plus an advanced Hybrid OR. Another feature is Computerized Integrated Surgery, which is a sophisticated platform that allows physicians to remotely connect through tele-surgical technology to specialized physicians during surgery for consults, assistance and education. The in-house surgical team can tele-communicate in real time through the in-light camera to a specialist to address the issue at that moment, saving time and eliminating the need for additional surgeries. The Hybrid Operating Room is a surgical theater equipped with technologically advanced imaging equipment used in high-intensity procedures, such as neurosurgeries, vascular procedures and everything in between. These imaging devices also enable minimally-invasive procedures which require imaging techniques that can visualize smaller body parts such as thin vessels in the heart muscle. Utilizing our Hybrid OR directly impacts patient safety, because everything can occur in one room - emergencies or complications can be handled in one spot without putting a patient's safety at risk to move to another operating room. St. Elizabeth's has two DaVinci Robots allowing the ability to perform surgeries with a minimally invasive approach. We are the first in the area to accomplish this. FY 2024, HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital performed 6,784 cases.

Cardiac Services: HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital provides comprehensive cardiovascular services from diagnosis to surgery to rehabilitation and wellness. HSHS St. Elizabeth's is accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers, a professional organization focused on improving care for patients with acute coronary syndromes and teaching the public to recognize and react to the early symptoms of a possible heart attack. HSHS St. Elizabeth's, in partnership with Prairie Heart and Vascular Institute, continues to add envelope-pushing technologies and new procedures to lead the region in heart care, including TAVR (trans aortic valve replacement). TAVR makes it possible to replace an aortic valve without opening the patient's chest. In this minimally invasive procedure, a tube is simply inserted in the groin and routed to the aorta for the valve replacement. Prairie also brought the world's smallest pacemaker, the Micra TPS, and the CardioMEMS monitoring system for heart failure patients to the region over the past year. The Electrophysiology Lab is outfitted with a low radiation dose Bi-Plane angio suite where complicated procedures can be performed to treat a full spectrum of heart arrhythmias and implant cardiac devices to serve patients with irregular heartbeats. Other services provided include cardiac catheterization, stent placement, stress testing, pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), electrocardiography, coronary artery bypass graft (open heart) surgery and cardiac rehabilitation. During FY 2024, HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital performed 44,898 Cardiology procedures, 8,339 Cardiac Cath Lab procedures and had 6,606 Cardiac Rehab visits.
