In 2019, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Lexington Medical Center completed a new, state-of-the-art surgical facility. The facility and its technology:
- Increases precision and accuracy inside the operating room
- Gives surgical staff easier access and better mobility during surgery
- Reduces surgical time, allowing LMC to accommodate more patients
- Ensures our community has access to the latest medical procedures
- Helps retain our base of surgical providers and recruit outstanding new physicians
At a total cost of $31.5 million, the project represented a major investment. The Lexington community supported this much-needed facility through a $3 million fundraising campaign that concluded in December 2019.
The 26,500-square-foot facility includes:
- Four operating rooms, each more than 700 square feet
- A 1,200-square-foot family waiting area
- Two private family consult rooms
- Nine post-operative recovery bays
- A post-operative isolation room
For patient convenience, our Surgical Services Facility connects to the main hospital and serves all surgical procedures, from cases that may require a hospital stay to minimally invasive, outpatient procedures.
At Lexington Medical Center, our mission is to provide the very best care for our patients. This surgical facility is helping us evolve to meet these critical needs of our community by offering the most modern surgical services close to home, sparing our patients and their families from having to drive long distances for their care.
