About the Cody Ambulatory and
Inpatient Surgical Pavilion
On February 7, 1998, Mather Hospital ushered in a new era of healthcare
by opening the new Ambulatory and Inpatient Surgical Pavilion.
The Pavilion was renamed the “Matthew J. and Debra A. Cody
Ambulatory and Inpatient Surgical Pavilion” in June 2001 in honor
of the Codys’ $1 million commitmen to the Surgical Pavilion. This
commitment helps Mather Hospital continue to serve more patients requiring
surgical services, as well as carry on its mission to provide patients
with the latest advances in medical technology and equipment.
Currently, about 75 percent of all surgical procedures are performed
on an ambulatory basis — and that figure is expected to climb due
to new technology and equipment. The Cody Ambulatory and Inpatient Surgical
Pavilion was designed to respond to this trend.
The pavilion features eight operating room suites, a recovery area,
a 12-bed intensive care unit, units for cystoscopy and endoscopy, a pre-admission
testing area, and a separate area
for pediatric patients that allows parents to stay with their children
right up to the moment of surgery — and reunites them at their
bedside immediately afterward.
