The Cone Health MedCenter for Women is designed to be a convenient alternative to traditional health care options, combining a variety of services in one location.
The new two-story, 30,000 square-foot medical office building opened on Monday on Third Street in Greensboro.
The center offers a host of gynecological and obstetric services, including prenatal and maternal care, mammography, physical therapy, and an onsite lab. In addition, officials stress that the center can address non-medical issues such as nutrition, which can directly impact mothers and newborns.
As COVID continues, Piedmont area nurses and operating room staff are already at risk of exposure but another invisible enemy, surgical smoke, is a concern as they work tirelessly to save their patients lives.
Surgical smoke results from human tissue being cut with mechanical tools and heat-producing devices, such as lasers used for dissection.
Karen Lemmons, legislative chair for North Carolina with the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurse, recently talked to Randolph Health and found that funds could be the delaying factor in being smoke-free.
Lemmons believes there is always a drawback with legislatures anytime money is involved. Whenever there s a need for funding projects, it seems like the brick walls are coming up.
