Pend Oreille Surgery Center opens

Pend Oreille Surgery Center owners and staff, accompanied by the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony announcing the opening of the new  surgical center.

Pend Oreille Surgery Center, located at 30544 Highway 200 in Ponderay, is a privately-owned, free-standing, ambulatory surgical center specifically designed to provide care for “day surgery” patients.

Through an experienced team of doctors, registered nurses, certified surgery technicians combined with a professional business staff, the center provides a wide range of ambulatory surgical services. Patients may be scheduled by credentialed medical staff for elective procedures including general, orthopedic, podiatric and plastic surgery in addition to endoscopic and interventional pain procedures.

“The staff is proud of the beautiful and tranquil atmosphere that has been created for patients, their family members, staff and providers,” said Kris Sabo, R.N. and executive director.

“The center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and comfortable furnishings, creating a positive surgical experience for patients as well as a great place to work,” she said.

Pend Oreille Surgery Center officials would like to thank Reitinger & Associates Consulting, Morss Medical Architecture, Leone & Keeble Construction, Decision by Design, Sandpoint Computers, TNT Communications, and Envy Graphic Design for their invaluable help with this “dream-come-true.”  Special thanks go to Panhandle State Bank for financing the project despite a difficult credit environment.

Pend Oreille Surgery Center is dedicated to its mission to expand the future of health care in Bonner County.
