Preparing the Patients for Surgery
The CAMTA team arrives bright and early to prepare the first patients of the 2016 Mission for their surgeries! Both pediatric and adult surgeries are scheduled throughout the day and all healthcare staff are working hard throughout the pre-op, operation, and recovery room to provide the best possible care to all patients.
