Surgery

The surgical team at Moses Taylor Hospital utilizes technology, patient safety and a compassionate environment to every patient they care for. If your procedure is an outpatient procedure or an inpatient procedure, you and your family will be in very capable hands. When you are undergoing surgery, you can expect to be our focus. But what you might not expect is that your family is also our priority. We will keep your family informed, every hour. And, should they need information in the meantime, they can use a telephone that will ring right into the Operating Room.

Same-Day Surgery

Our Short Procedure Unit provides same-day surgery, backed by the resources and staff of the hospital. We will make your procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible, because we realize that you would really like to get home. We will send you home with follow-up instructions and, of course, should you have any questions, you can call us at any time. And, for your convenience, should you require medication, you can get your prescriptions filled at the Moses Taylor Apothecary, located on first floor of the hospital.

Oncology

Moses Taylor Hospital Oncology delivers a multi-disciplinary approach to cancer treatment. All staff members have been specially selected for their ability to teach, nurture, and support patients and their families. This coordinated program is offered to inpatients and outpatients.

Treatment and diagnostic procedures include chemotherapy administration, blood product replacement therapy, nutritional support, pain management, pastoral care and palliative care.

Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is the medical practice that deals with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints and ligaments. At Moses Taylor Hospital, our staff works with your physician and your surgeon to help make your recovery process as comfortable as possible. Orthopaedic procedures can be a complex issue that may require a team of health professionals to diagnose and treat. Our staff is expertly trained to assist your physician and surgeon in areas such as spine surgery, shoulder and knee surgery, and joint replacement. Utilizing state-of-the-art surgical tables and digital imaging helps with the precision needed to perform intricate procedures.

We understand that part of your healing process will begin after you leave the hospital. Our staff can arrange home health visits by specially trained professionals to help get you back on your feet again… providing a full circle of care. Our staff will also work with you to help prevent future problems by reviewing the use of good body mechanics, and offering suggestions for regular exercise, stretching and weight control. When you need orthopaedic services, discuss it with your physician, and request Moses Taylor Hospital… where respect for dignity, compassionate care and state-of-the art technology support the trust you have put in your physician.
