About SCCR:
As a multi-specialty surgical facility, Surgery Center Cedar Rapids is a leader in the national trend toward surgical procedures being performed outside hospital operating rooms. Some of the advantages to choosing this kind of outpatient care include:
- Efficiency: Turn-around time between surgeries is as much as three times faster than at hospitals, which means less waiting for patients.
- Affordability: SCCR’s costs are much lower than at a hospital or hospital-based facility. Patient co-pays and out-of-pocket costs are often 30-40 percent less.
- Dependability: Scheduled surgery times are not likely to be delayed or bumped by non-related emergencies, as they may be at hospitals.
SCCR is staffed by over 90 highly trained administrative and clinical associates along with a dedicated team of associates that includes physician specialists, registered nurses, certified surgical technicians and certified sterilization personnel.
