Saratoga Hospital celebrated in May the closing of its capital campaign for surgical and intensive care services.<\/p>\n

The campaign began with a $4 million goal that was doubled to $8 million, due to the community\u2019s motivated response to help secure support for burgeoning surgical and critical care volumes, hospital officials said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The campaign supported the largest capital project in the hospital\u2019s history\u2014its new Surgical Pavilion and the Marylou Whitney and Desmond DelGiacco, MD, Intensive Care Unit. In total, the five-year campaign raised $8 million toward the total costs that exceeded $32 million.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of this would have been possible without the generosity of the Saratoga community,\u201d said Frank Messa, chairman of the Saratoga Hospital Foundation board of trustees. \u201cEvery donation made an invaluable impact. More than 38 percent of the total number of gifts were less than $100. Whatever the capacity to give, it could never exceed the spirit of each and every kind heart who gave.\u201d<\/p>\n

A total of 2,206 donors supported the campaign, including 663 hospital employees, (an unprecedented 30 percent of all donors to this campaign), resulting in the largest number of employee donations in the history of the hospital officials said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cSince 2000, Saratoga Hospital has had a 75 percent increase in surgeries,\u201d said Angelo G. Calbone, president and CEO. \u201cWe\u2019ve increased our number of surgeons on staff by 63 percent to meet the demand. Emergencies were bringing in four to six unscheduled surgeries a day. The prior operating suites were not designed for today\u2019s robotic and other advanced technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the new facilities up and running, officials said the hospital is seeing shorter hospital stays and overall better patient outcomes with the advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art intensive care the campaign helped provide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Specifically, the new Surgical Pavilion includes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ten state-of-the-art operating suites, built specifically to increase space around the sterile field, integrate advanced robotic,\u00a0 <\/span>video and boom technologies, and accommodate today\u2019s larger surgical teams.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Upgraded air handling systems to improve infection prevention, temperature, and humidity control.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New, larger, separate and more private preoperative and postoperative care space to meet the needs of increasingly complex surgical patients.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Private rooms limit patient-to-patient contact and optimize heating and lighting control to meet individual needs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each space has seating, sleeping, device charging, and lavatory accommodations for family members, allowing them to remain close to their loved one as long as necessary.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Large windows and oversized clocks in every room will help acclimate patients to night and day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each room has Dialysis capability, eliminating the need to move critically ill patients.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Booms afford maximum flexibility when positioning a patient\u2019s bed, allow staff to easily move around the patient without impediments, and eliminate the noise created by wheeling equipment from room to room.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Specially designed room dividers and doors with \u201celectric glass\u201d turn opaque with the flip of a switch, eliminating the need for curtains, reducing noise and enhancing infection control.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Advanced early-warning patient monitoring system.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Separate, customer-focused waiting area and consultation room where families can gather, meet with physicians, and discuss care options and other difficult decisions.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hospitality Center for families and other visitors that provides easy access to refreshments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
