Overview
The Cooper Surgery Center in Voorhees, also known as VSC, is an Outpatient Surgical Center. It is run by the hospital and follows many of the same guidelines as the surgical areas in Camden. This facility is not open 24 hours a day, so patients are sent home following their procedures. If problems occur, they are either sent to Cooper in Camden or, if an emergency, the closest medical facility. VSC performs its own Pre-Admission screening before the scheduled procedure. Patients are provided an arrival time, registered, and escorted to the pre-operative area where they are prepped for the procedure. They are then met by Anesthesia and their Surgeon. Once the procedure is completed, they recover in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) before being sent home.
