Surgeon Dr. Fernando Garcia is performing state-of-the-art hernia surgeries at JPS.
A robot-assisted hernia operation he completed in May is believed to be the first of its kind performed in Fort Worth. Garcia said it will allow a woman who was left unable to work or perform many routine daily activities to reclaim her life. Incredibly, it only required her to spend two days in the hospital.
With a rapidly increasing senior population in the Fort Worth area, JPS is attempting to become only the second hospital in the United States to earn Gold Seal of Approval status from The Joint Commission in the area of geriatric delirium care, according to JPS Service Line Administrator Will Callans.
“Geriatric care is an area of great need,” said Callans. “The population in the hospital at JPS is getting older and that’s a trend that’s going to continue in the coming years. Our goal is to train as many nurses as we can to care for older adults.”
With the Metroplex area blood supply at a lower than ideal level, JPS donors were able to roll up their sleeves and do their share Tuesday to replenish the vital resource.
