It's true. When doctors become successful, they move to the suburbs. Who can blame them? Westchester has charming town squares, top-tier school districts and one-of-a-kind homes. But if you're a successful doctor, you don't only care where you live. You also care where you work. That's why they're drawn to Bronxville's Lawrence Hospital Center. Over the last five years, we've spent nearly $50 million in renovations. Suffice it to say, that kind of money buys a lot more than a new coat of paint and some soothing wall art. Let's start with the room people often see first: The Emergency Room. We've done so much reconstructive surger y on it, you wouldn't recognize the place. Modern. Sleek. Computerized. It's ever ything you'd want in a par t of the hospital we hope you never have to visit. Of course, not every visit to our hospital is for a bad reason. Sometimes it's for a good one. And there's no better example of that than our Maternity Ward. Our nurser y is spacious enough to handle a minor population explosion. And with 23 new private rooms, their mothers get some well-deser ved privacy. Each room has been designed with soft lighting, carpeting, Internet access and a flat-screen TV. In addition to our warm bedside manner, we have electronic bedside records. A laser-fast scan of your ID bracelet tells our nurses who you are and what medication you need. It's an extra layer of security that helps eliminate the possibility of mistaken identity. Speaking of technology, we've improved our image with upgraded MRIs and Westchester's first Low Dose CT Scan. A dose so low, it delivers up to 40% less radiation than the previous model. That said, technology is only half the stor y. People are the other half. In an age when hospitals focus on the almighty dollar, we still focus on the almighty patient. Maybe that's why nationally recognized doctors and award-winning surgeons who could work anywhere, choose to work here. We don't just talk about compassionate care, we also live and breathe it. No wonder people think it's healthier to live in the suburbs. If you'd like the full hospital tour, visit lawrencehealth.org. Find out why so many top doctors call our hospital "home." Location.
