It is run by the hospital and follows many of the same guidelines as the surgical areas in Camden. This facility is not open 24 hours a day, so patients are sent home following their procedures. If problems occur, they are either sent to Cooper in Camden or if an emergency, the closest medical facility. VSC does their own Pre-Admission screening before the scheduled procedure. Patient is provided an arrival time, they are registered and escorted to the pre-operative area where they are prepped for the procedure. They are then met by Anesthesia and their Surgeon.
