As surgeons came to rely more and more on technology, operating rooms became very congested with bulky equipment and too many cords. Thanks to Trades NL, we have completely modernized 17 operating suites. As of 2022, 13 suites are completed. The new Integrated Operating rooms are located in the Health Sciences Centre, Women's Health Program and St. Clare's. The new integrated operating rooms feature improved lighting and keep equipment on booms, reducing the number of staff required for surgeries and instances of infection, so patients can recover faster. As Dr. David Pace puts it, “More cameras, lights, and video monitors, and less clutter, allows us to do our surgery better”.
