The Salem Hospital Perioperative Division has an integrated Operative Team that is an interprofessional collaboration of expert surgical technologists, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiology, and support personnel with many of our surgeons and anesthesia team practicing at both Salem and MGH. This team offers a wide variety of procedures including Orthopedic, General Surgery, Vascular, GYN, Plastics, Urology, Thoracic, and Spine. Typical case load is 30-45 surgical procedures in the operating room. The team is aligned with Mass General Brigham to focus on high-quality, low-cost, innovative community-based ambulatory and inpatient procedural care.
