Current areas of growth include the renovation of a state of the art vascular
radiologic surgical suite and our "OR of the Future" which opened
in July 2002. This OR, a collaborative effort between MGH, the Center
for Innovative and Minimally Invasive Technology, will feature the latest
technology and patient flow and staffing models. Main

The Pre-Admission Testing Area (PATA) is primarily
an evaluation and education center made up of a multidisciplinary team
who focus on preparing patients for surgery and invasive procedures as
well as preparing patients for discharge after surgery. It is often the
first place many of our surgical patients are exposed to the MGH culture;
therefore Customer Service is one of the many primary responsibilities
of all staff that practice in this setting.
