Surgery
Close to Home
When it comes to surgery, comfort and
convenience make a big difference.
With a combined 300-plus years of professional experience, the
surgical team at Huron Regional Medical Center provides local,
personalized treatment to residents of the communities we serve.
"Having surgery close to home alleviates the added time, stress
and expense of traveling, and it gets patients back home where
they can recover more quickly," says Cy Haatvedt, MD, a general
surgeon at Tschetter & Hohm Clinic who has practiced with HRMC
for nearly 20 years. "It also makes it easier for patients to follow up
with their personal surgical team as needed. That's an important
part of recovery, and having local care makes it much
easier to provide the extra support patients
need to thrive. A flexible environment and roundthe-clock emergency surgical
support help us provide the
care patients need – when it's
convenient for them."
