YOSEMITE CLINIC – A PHYSICIAN-RUN AND OPERATED MODERN MEDICAL CENTER SPECIALIZING IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE DAY SURGERY – OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES IN CENTRAL PUDONG
As China pushes forward with national healthcare reform efforts, across the country patients are benefitting from increased access to the latest medical techniques and best practice medicine. There is no better place to experience this trend toward more modern medical care in Shanghai than at Yosemite Clinic, a 5-minute walk from the Kerry Parkside in central Pudong.
On April 21, marked the Grand Opening of Yosemite Clinic, with guests from many of Shanghai’s leading public and private hospitals as well as doctors who share the Yosemite Clinic vision of providing modern medical care to patients across Shanghai.
Designed as a day surgery that specializes in conducting minimally invasive surgeries (think appendectomies, varicose veins and hernia repairs) Yosemite Clinic also provides patients with convenient, comprehensive modern healthcare from family medicine to a range of specialties – all in a beautifully designed facility that takes its cues from the natural beauty of Yosemite National Park in California, USA.
In the United States and Europe, conducting surgical procedures in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) is already a mature model. The day surgery model employs minimally invasive techniques that enable the patient to return home after only 1-2 days of observation. In the US alone 23,000,000 surgeries per year are performed in day surgery centers!
Just like in these markets, the Yosemite Clinic operating rooms are designed specifically for minimally invasive surgeries and equipped with the latest medical technology to bring to patients all the benefits of a day surgery approach:
Reduced pain and unnecessary trauma compared to open surgical techniques.
Reduced risk of hospital acquired infections and injuries due to shorter stays.
Less impact on one’s body through rapid recovery and a quicker return to normal life activities;
And reduced personal or financial costs due to time away from work, study and loved ones.
At Yosemite Clinic, surgery is NOT as scary as you thought!
