State-of-the-art Endoscopy Center offers technologically advanced care in a comfortable environment.
South County Hospital's Endoscopy Suite is large, bright, and equipped to meet patients’ needs. The Suite is focused on patient health and safety for colorectal screenings and procedures, as well as the diagnosis and treatment for other gastrointestinal conditions.
Are you 45+?
Current guidelines suggest that you should get your first colonoscopy at age 45 if you are at average risk for colorectal cancer. A screening colonoscopy prevent some colorectal cancers, by finding and removing polyps (growths on the inner lining) before they turn into cancer.
What sets South County Hospital apart?
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
This ultrasound system is a minimally invasive procedure to assess digestive (gastrointestinal) and lung diseases. A special endoscope uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the lining and walls of your digestive tract and chest, nearby organs such as the pancreas and liver, and lymph nodes. This is the best system to identify pancreatic cancer.
EUS will also help physicians to determine the extent of spread of certain cancers and to accurately assess the cancer's depth and whether it has spread to adjacent lymph glands or nearby vital structures, such as major blood vessels.
Cupron Enhanced EOS Surfaces
Reprocessing room is equipped with Cupron, a copper-based technology with antimicrobial properties. The synthetic hard-surface material actively kills greater than 99.9% of bacteria within 2 hours of exposure, including the COVID-19 virus, and continuously kills bacteria that contribute to the spread of illnesses.
This technology provides South County Hospital with an additional layer of prevention against Hospital Acquired Infections. South County Hospital is the first hospital in the state to use this product.
