Undergoing surgery are understandably anxious—they feel uncertain about what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Many patients awaiting surgery face life-threatening illnesses, and most suffer from pain or disability, compounding their apprehension. To prepare for surgery, patients undergo numerous pre-procedure tests, as well as pre-surgical and anesthesia preparation, remaining in the Preoperative Clinic for up to eight hours.
The Nevzlin Family Foundation is supporting a new, upgraded Preoperative Care Center at Sourasky, which will be a primary treatment and support hub delivering top-quality, efficient care at all preoperative and postoperative stages, from diagnosis through recovery. The Center will be a pivotal step in the continuum of care, helping patients arrive at the operating table calmer and more prepared, and helping them fully recover post-surgery and return to their lives.
