In a rural community like ours, surgery is often only available if one makes the long drive to a nearby city. Not so in Harney County. Excellent surgical services are readily accessible at Harney District Hospital, all part of staying 'Healthy at Home.'
Harney District Hospital offers the highest level of quality to surgical patients. Many General Surgery procedures are now available, and the list of procedures offered to the community continues to grow.
Please talk with the Surgical Department about your needs. Together you can determine the most appropriate plan for your good health and recovery. |

If You're Scheduled for Surgery...
A Recovery Room Nurse will contact you. They will get your medical history, do a brief physical assessment and help you schedule any necessary labwork or other exams. In addition, the Recovery Room Nurse will assist with the surgical pre-admission process and will keep in touch following the surgery to make sure your recovery is smooth.
Use this opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the procedure, hospital stay and recovery. If you have additional questions or concerns about the surgical process, please contact Lianne Perlot or Deanna Thrall at 541.573.8605.

| Anesthesia Services |
While HDH Anesthesia is an integral part of a pain management program, it is not a stand-alone pain clinic. Patients can receive a steroid injection or pain block for a specific, identified problem with a referral from their primary care provider. Patients who may receive relief include those suffering chronic back, shoulder, hip or knee pain, arthritis and degenerative nerve or muscle pain.
During a steroid treatment, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic. The exact spot where medication is needed is found with fluoroscopy (live x-ray) or a nerve stimulator and the steroid is injected. Rest with little movement the day of the injection optimizes the effectiveness of the treatment, but most people return to work the following day.
Some pain issues may require surgery, but block or injection treatments can buy a patient time to either recover or prepare for surgery. In addition, breaking the normal cycle of pain and reducing inflammation (i.e. pain causes inflammation, which causes pain, etc...) allows the body to heal. Please talk to your healthcare provider if you may benefit from pain management treatment.
