A new Center for Surgical Specialties at Franklin Hospital in Valley Stream, N.Y., has received $600,000 in upgrades, such as new carpeting and wood-like flooring, new furnishings, bathroom enhancements, flat-screen TVs, a modernized nursing station, and a patient-family member lounge. The unit also features an adjoining entrance to the Orzac Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation, facilitating a smooth transition of care for patients who require rehabilitation.

The center also is home to The Institute for Orthopedic Science, which combines the orthopedic programs of each of North Shore’s hospitals. From diagnosis to surgery to rehabilitation, patients with musculoskeletal disorders receive multidisciplinary care. The unit is designed to help patients regain mobility and return to active, independent lives.
