Jamaica Hospital Opens New Ambulatory Surgery Unit
Jun 05,2025
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center recently opened its new Ambulatory Surgical Unit (ASU). The expanded ASU allows the hospital to enhance its surgical services by increasing volume and provides a more efficient layout, with dedicated space for the timely service of elective, same-day procedures. “The new ASU will allow us to increase our volume and accommodate our growing surgical services to meet the needs of our community”, said Dr. Antonietta Morisco, Chairperson of Anesthesiology.
Jamaica Hospital’s ASU has four state-of-the-art operating rooms, a spacious admitting and recovery area for patients, and a comfortable waiting area for family members. Patients who have been to the ASU are amazed by how beautiful and modern the facility is and say they have had a wonderful experience there.
The ASU has the latest technology to support minimally invasive surgical procedures, highlighted by a da Vinci robot. A few of the surgical subspecialties provided at the ASU include general surgery, ENT, urology, orthopedics, podiatry, gynecology, pain management, and pediatrics. Jamaica Hospital’s new ASU has a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and support staff.
With the new amenities at the Ambulatory Surgery Unit, the team at the ASU looks forward to continuing to provide the community with high-quality care, building on its commitment to giving patients the best and most stress-free experience possible before, during, and after their surgical procedures.
