It takes a skilled, committed team to make surgery safe for patients. At Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, this team includes experienced doctors, nurses and sterile processing technicians, among others. Their work begins before the patient arrives at the hospital to ensure their safety before, during and after surgery.
When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, the surgery team at Sharp Chula Vista was ready. The team had previously prepared for a possible pandemic with the Ebola virus, and took their already diligent dedication to safety to the next level.
