Redbud plans upgrades to improve patient experiences, outcomes PDF Print E-mail

CLEARLAKE – Redbud Community Hospital has added “healing environments” to three upgraded and remodeled surgical and medical procedure suites – part of a national trend to combine new technology and improved function with design and comfort.


The redesign is good news to the nearly 1,500 surgical patients expected in 2008 for a wide variety of surgical and non-invasive procedures. Redbud’s medical staff routinely performs abdominal, gynecological, orthopedic, eye and GI procedures, as well as the latest minimally invasive techniques.


By adding new lighting, flooring and painting, the Redbud medical planning team has transformed two operating rooms and the endoscopy suite into environments more soothing and comforting for patients.


The surgical upgrades are the first phase of construction and remodeling plan that will double the size of the emergency department and create a more accessible hospital front entrance.


“The goal of our renovation was to create a surgical area that accommodates new technology – such as minimally invasive surgery – while at the same time is comforting and supports healing,” explained Linda Gibson, Redbud senior vice president of operations. “Studies have proven that a hospital’s environment can play a major role in the patient’s experience and outcome. An atmosphere and design that is comforting and calming can increase patient satisfaction and improve their hospital experience.”


Gibson also noted that top-notch surgical staff, services and the new surroundings are part of Redbud Community Hospital’s commitment to provide high quality care that is efficient, convenient and “unequaled by any other medical facility in the region.”

valium would have been cheaper if your shooting for a comfort level that is soothing Geez Redbud, please don't turn into a navel gazing academy like Sutter, some of us just want to get fixed up and get the hell outta there, not make it a retreat/vacation. No wonder why so many go over the hill for services.

village smart-ass around here enough? Apparently not! There is nothing wrong with Redbud that a change of clientel wouldn't fix, crazy dirtbags are bad enough when they're physically sound, they're really unbearable when they're puking and wretching all over the place, hence my plan to either stay healthy or croak on the way to Sutter! Maybe they should close the hospitals here and just do parking lot triage.
