Our outstanding general surgical team performs nearly 900 outpatient, inpatient, and emergency surgical services a year, right here in Rochelle. We have general surgeons available, including Michael Monfils, M.D.. And if a hospital stay is needed to help your recovery, our friendly nurses will encourage you along, and your family can visit you without the hassle of traveling to a larger city. That’s a definite bonus when you want loved ones nearby.
When it comes to surgery, having a great surgeon leading the team is important. But there are also other factors that help determine your surgery’s success: the people who clean, decontaminate, sterilize and prep the medical and surgical instruments for surgery!
Our hospital not only has an amazing surgical staff, but we also have one of the best surgical processing and support teams around. In fact, our Surgical Department earned a 100% score on a recent Joint Commission survey! We took that commitment even farther by forming a new chapter for the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Material Management (IAHCSMM).
