Better Equipped for Outpatient Surgery
Our modern operating rooms are designed for both inpatient and outpatient procedures. We offer centralized outpatient surgery services with advanced medical technology and maximum workspace efficiency.

Advanced, Minimally Invasive Techniques
Many procedures use scopes and small instruments through tiny incisions, resulting in faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.

Your Privacy Matters
Our larger surgical services area allows for enhanced privacy and confidential patient-staff discussions. Harrison Memorial Hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
