Business

Sarasota Memorial Health Care System opened a new outpatient care center today with a state-of-the-art endoscopy suite and expanding specialty practice dedicated to early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and other digestive diseases and disorders. “Regular and timely screenings are the key to protect our overall health and our best defense to catch cancer at the earliest, most treatable stage,” said Stephen Kucera, MD, who serves as medical director of gastroenterology and endoscopic oncology at Sarasota Memorial. “Opening an outpatient endoscopy center will allow more people to schedule routine screenings and diagnostic services outside the hospital, while increasing our capacity to treat acute, complex cases inside the hospital.”
