An exoskeleton is a wearable, battery-powered device that fits like a brace around the legs, hips and waist to assist in standing and walking. The device prevents atrophy and allows the patient to walk while also helping the brain rebuild the necessary communication link to the legs. The technology within the exoskeleton enables the device to sense the support a patient needs and adjust accordingly. The exoskeleton provides full assistance for patients who need it and less for those further along in their recovery journey.

Did you know that our hospitals use an invisible solution during hygiene training? Our teams understand the importance of hand washing so we use a solution to help identify ways to improve technique. It is invisible to the naked eye and requires ultraviolet light to see. Through this approach, clinicians increase their knowledge and awareness of best handwashing practices. #HealthcareQualityWeek

Our pharmacists use advanced technology to ensure the efficient and accurate delivery of medication. The provider’s order goes directly to the pharmacist for verification and dispensing, eliminating paper charts and phone calls. #PharmacyWeek
