All are run by the hospital largely to serve diagnostic and therapeutic needs of the Gastroenterology Division.

The most common gastroenterology procedures are upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. In the pulmonary suite (STU only), endoscopy of the airway procedures is performed, and are commonly called bronchoscopy.
