Optim Health System

Behind every successful surgery is a team of skilled professionals working together to provide safe, exceptional care. During Surgical Technologists Week, we’re proud to recognize the incredible surgical technologists who serve patients at Optim Surgery Center in Savannah, Optim Medical Center-Tattnall and Optim Medical Center-Screven.

From preparing the operating room and maintaining a sterile environment to anticipating the needs of the surgical team, surgical technologists are an essential part of every procedure. Their skill, precision and attention to detail help our teams deliver the high-quality surgical care our patients depend on.

Please join us in thanking Optim’s surgical technologists for everything they do for our patients, physicians and communities.

From preparing the operating room and maintaining a sterile environment to anticipating the needs of the surgical team, surgical technologists are an essential part of every procedure and every patient’s care.

At Optim, our surgical teams have access to advanced technology like the Mako SmartRobotics™ system, designed to assist surgeons with highly precise planning and ex*****on during joint replacement procedures.

Mako technology combines detailed patient-specific planning with robotic-arm assistance, giving the surgeon valuable information and control throughout the procedure while the surgeon remains in command every step of the way.

It’s another example of Optim’s commitment to investing in the technology, expertise and resources that help us deliver outstanding orthopedic care to the communities we serve.

Advanced surgical technology, close to home.
