This facility operates as a Level II Trauma Center providing inpatient cardiothoracic surgical services.

Clinical operations are structured to ensure continuity of care for both surgical and postoperative patients.

Follow-up clinic is held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at the hospital, with up to 6 patients seen per session; occasional urgent follow-ups may be scheduled outside of standard clinic days.
