Waiting for a loved one in surgery

FamilyVue monitors

For those waiting at the hospital during a loved one's surgery, we provide monitors to track the loved one's progress through the procedure. This service, called FamilyVue, displays coded messages that help keep track of the patient's surgical progress.

FamilyVue monitors are located in the Cafeteria and the surgical waiting area on the second floor.
More information, including examples of the screen displays can be found in this FamilyVue brochure.

Located west of the Baright Gift Shop in the lobby of the Methodist Women's Hospital, the McGowan Family Resource Center provides free health information through books, videos and online searches.

Magnet Nursing - Excellence for You

In 2004, Methodist Hospital joined only 5% of the nation's hospitals to earn the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet status is considered the "gold standard" of nursing.

Sue Korth, vice president and chief operating officer at Methodist Women's Hospital said, "Magnet designation recognizes sustained excellence in nursing and is achieved only by nursing divisions that provide quality care on a consistent basis. We are proud of the effort our nurses put forth daily to promote a culture of empowerment, pride, respect, teamwork and integrity.”

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery

Today, complex conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgery using a da Vinci robotic surgical system.

This system provides your surgeon with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control. It requires only a few small incisions so you can get back to life faster without the usual recovery time needed following traditional open surgery.

Benefits to having surgery with a da Vinci system include:

faster recovery and shorter hospital stays
less blood loss
minimal pain and complications
lower risk of infection
smaller incisions and less scaring
