A wide variety of inpatient and outpatient surgeries and procedures are performed at Jefferson Community Health & Life. Our surgical suite offers two fully equipped operating rooms, a fully equipped minor procedure room (for colonoscopies, endoscopies and other minor procedures), and a four-bay admission and recovery area.

Ask your physician if you can have your surgery or procedure at Jefferson Community Health & Life. Physicians at Jefferson Community Health & Life Fairbury Clinic do minor procedures, and visiting specialists offer surgeries, colonoscopies, endoscopies and procedures here at Jefferson Community Health & Life. In 2026, we will be adding robotic surgery for general and gynecological surgeries, and orthopedics!
