Virtua is a leader in surgery, offering expert surgeons in a range of specialties, skilled surgical nurses and anesthesiologists. This leadership extends into Virtua's operating rooms, which employ advanced surgical and imaging technologies for use during minimally invasive surgeries, and onto patient units, where specialized post-surgical care is provided for patients recovering from joint replacement, orthopedic surgery and gynecologic surgery.
