UPHS Portage has had an exciting year. The local hospital has sponsored several community events. As large as Bridgefest and as intimate as the breast cancer awareness dinner. The facilities have also added several new physicians, including one that never leaves the operating room, a da Vinci surgical robot.
OBGYN, your general surgeon, your urologist, 95% of them are trained on this (da Vinci machine) and they want to go practice in a place that has this. So we had some surgeons that were trained. Next year we’ll have three more so we’ll get to five by this time next year. – Ryan Heinonen, CEO, UPHS – Portage
