Enhanced recovery after C-section
Women undergoing cesarean sections at SVMC
are returning home more quickly than in the
past thanks to a new program that includes
more education and preparation before surgery,
reduced use of narcotics during surgery, and
individualized post-operative care. Patients
appreciate shorter hospital stays and a quicker
return to normal activities.

Society to participate in the three-year project to increase colorectal cancer
screening rates. The aim of the project is to bring well-performing health
systems together to share tools, resources, and capacity-building assistance
and to solidify evidence-based methods to improve community health.
