Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital is upgrading and adding surgical equipment in the operating rooms to enhance the hospital’s ability to provide state-of-the art orthopedic surgeries and to enable other surgeries to take place in multiple operating rooms simultaneously.

The Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital Foundation raised over $300,000 with the generous support of the community and Sutter Health matched this amount for a total of $600,000 to purchase the updated surgical equipment.

"The new equipment is more versatile and can accommodate a variety of uses, allowing us to do more for our patients," said Orthopedic Surgeon Jeffrey Bergeson, D.O. "For instance, the new mini-C-arm system, used for high-resolution x-ray, is very compact and can be used in smaller spaces such as the emergency department to assist in diagnosing hand or wrist fractures."

In addition to the ARCADIS Mini-C-Arm mentioned above, the upgraded equipment includes a Hana Table, Jackson Spinal Table, ARCADIS Large C-Arm, anesthesia machine, transposal suction system and a FastSystem General Surgery System.
