The VA renovated their Portland Medical Center Prosthetics Suite with the following updates:

 

• Workshop improvements that reduced noise and dust to improve comfort for staff and patients including a new dust collection system, make-up air system, and dust filtration system.

• Improved workstations for staff, including reception and the purchasing department with new lighting and phone and data modifications.

• Waiting area enhancements designed to welcome and comfort those who receive care at the Prosthetics Suite

• Improvements to on-site storage for orthotic goods and hazardous materials.

• Increased efficiency of space, meeting staff needs and patient privacy and dignity.

 

The Prosthetics Suite is an especially critical part of the Portland VA Medical Center’s services.  It sees a large volume of patients every week, each of whom requires special care.
