Certified Surgical Technologist | Orthopaedic Surgery Center (OSC) | Sign On Bonus Eligible

The Orthopaedic Surgery Center is a collaborative effort between the physicians of Concord Orthopaedics and Concord Hospital. The physicians of Concord Orthopaedics work with anesthesiologists, nurses, and operating room and recovery staff to ensure patient safety and excellence in care.

Day surgery centers - like the OSC - are designed for patients who are safe to come in and go home on the same day as their surgery. The procedures we offer at the surgery center are those which can be performed under local, regional or general anesthesia, and are deemed safe for a short post-operative observation period followed by an at-home, same-day recovery. At the OSC, we know surgery in any setting can be intimidating, which is why we strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable, safe and convenient.
