Experience. Experts. Convenience.

The Outpatient Surgery Center & Specialty clinics will be a new home for outpatient surgery procedures currently performed at the University of Illinois Hospital. The Bruno & Sallie Pasquinelli Outpatient Surgery Center, located on the third floor, will feature eight operating rooms and a 24-bay Pre-/Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), opening needed space for improvements and expansion of the existing inpatient surgery department. This new center will be connected to the main hospital by an enclosed bridge across West Taylor Street.

A number of outpatient clinics also will be calling the OSC their new home:

• The Departments of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, and the Division of Transplantation, will relocate from the Eye & Ear Infirmary the OSC.
• The Department of Urology will consolidate its Mile Square Health Center and Outpatient Care Center clinics into a single OSC location.
• The Department of Gastroenterology will develop a GI Lab with eight procedure rooms, six exam rooms, and 24 pre-/postoperative rooms in the new building, opening needed space for improvements and expansion of the existing inpatient GI services.
• Outpatient pharmacy services will be available.

There will be additional spaces provided to other outpatient clinics based on strategic goals and objectives of the organization.
