3 and 18 who have faced, and overcome, difficult
circumstances.
Kadlec is one of numerous hospitals
participating in the program, which is sponsored
by the Kids Wish Network. The most recent

WHEN THE RIVER
Pavilion was designed and built,
it included two operating room (OR) shell spaces
on the second oor in anticipation of future needs.
That time has come; surgery volumes at Kadlec
increased by 12 percent in both 2012 and 2013. In
response, Kadlec recently nished construction on
the two new ORs. This brings the OR complement
to 12 rooms.
The addition of the two ORs helps patients get
access to surgical services more quickly, particularly
for non-emergency surgeries.
It is also intended that one of the new ORs
will be designated primarily for robotic-assisted
surgeries, an area of care that has experienced
signi cant growth, and additional increases are
anticipated as new physicians join the Kadlec
medical sta .
