Full-Spectrum Primary and Specialty Care
Comprehensive means no patient is turned away for lack of service. Sana Hospital operates 24/7 primary care clinics staffed by internal medicine, family medicine, and pediatric physicians who manage everything from routine physicals to acute infections. For specialized needs, the hospital houses over 50 clinical departments including cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious disease, and medical genetics. Subspecialty services include interventional pulmonology (endobronchial ultrasound), hepatology (liver biopsies and fibroscan), and reproductive endocrinology (in vitro fertilization). This breadth of services means that when a primary care doctor detects a murmur, a cardiologist is available same-day for an echocardiogram, and when a neurologist diagnoses multiple sclerosis, a neuro-ophthalmologist and physical medicine specialist are just a hallway away.
Surgical Services from Minimally Invasive to Complex Reconstruction
Sana Hospital’s surgical department performs over 15,000 procedures annually across general surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, https://www.sanahospitalvnb.com/ cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. Minimally invasive options include laparoscopic, robotic, and single-incision techniques that reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time. Complex procedures include craniotomies for brain tumors, spinal fusions with intraoperative neuromonitoring, coronary artery bypass grafting, lung resections, and living-donor kidney transplants. The hospital maintains a full-service burn unit with hydrotherapy tanks and skin grafting capabilities, as well as a hand surgery center specializing in microvascular reattachment. Every operating room is equipped with intraoperative imaging and telemedicine links to allow senior surgeons to mentor junior colleagues remotely.
Emergency, Trauma, and Critical Care Services
Comprehensive medical services require readiness for any crisis. Sana Hospital’s emergency department sees over 80,000 visits per year and includes a separate pediatric emergency zone designed with child-friendly equipment and distraction techniques. The hospital is designated as a Level II trauma center, capable of resuscitating and operating on patients with multiple severe injuries 24/7. Critical care services include a 30-bed medical-surgical ICU, a 20-bed cardiac ICU, a 15-bed neurological ICU, and a 10-bed neonatal ICU (Level III) capable of caring for infants born as early as 23 weeks gestation. The hospital also operates a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber for decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. Rapid response teams and code blue teams are drilled weekly to ensure immediate action during cardiac arrests or respiratory failures.
Diagnostic, Rehabilitative, and Supportive Services
Comprehensive care extends beyond cure to functional recovery and palliation. Sana Hospital’s diagnostic services include on-site pathology (frozen sections, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics), microbiology (rapid culture and sensitivity), and radiology (X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammography, bone densitometry). Rehabilitation services encompass physical therapy (gait training, strength conditioning), occupational therapy (activities of daily living retraining), speech-language pathology (swallowing and cognitive-communication therapy), and audiology (hearing testing and fitting of hearing aids). Supportive services include palliative care for symptom management in serious illness, hospice care for end-of-life comfort, social work for discharge planning and financial counseling, and chaplaincy services for spiritual support regardless of faith tradition.
Ancillary and Convenience Services for Seamless Experience
Comprehensiveness also means handling the logistical details so patients can focus on healing. Sana Hospital operates in-house pharmacies with 24/7 coverage, delivering medications directly to inpatient bedsides and offering drive-thru pickup for discharge prescriptions. Outpatient labs are open evenings and weekends with results available on the patient portal within hours. The hospital provides interpreter services for over 150 languages via telephone and video, as well as American Sign Language interpreters on-site. Transportation assistance is available for patients without access to cars, including shuttle buses from parking structures and partnerships with ride-sharing services. On-site amenities include a cafeteria with halal, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, a meditation room, a children’s play area, and a family resource center with overnight sleeping accommodations for long-term caregivers. These services ensure that no patient ever delays or forgoes necessary care due to logistical barriers.
