About
The surgery center’s namesake symbolizes a dedication to healthcare excellence and gratitude for the generosity of the H. L. Snyder Medical Foundation.
From humble beginnings visiting patients in a horse and buggy, Dr. H. L. Snyder founded a family legacy of commitment to the community. As general surgeons, the Snyder physicians’ practices encompassed a wide range of specialties necessitated by experience and need. Beloved by patients, Snyder physicians shared their unique skills, common sense, and humor with the community.
A love of medicine and care for patients is seemingly imprinted upon H. L. Snyder’s multitude of descendants. As of 2020, this legacy has encouraged five successive generations of physicians and healthcare professionals as well as inspired service by family members in other care professions. As tribute to the care and concern they showed thousands of patients, the H. L. Snyder Medical Foundation Surgery Center is named in their honor.
The surgery center is located on the first floor of the hospital. It includes four operating rooms, an orthopedic surgery suite, pre/post operative care, a cardiovascular catheterization lab, two waiting rooms, two consult rooms, and a chapel.
