Monday, October 17, 2022 San Juan Regional Medical Center Name the Robot Contest

 

San Juan Regional Medical Center is excited to offer our community minimally invasive robotic assisted surgeries with the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery System. Now, we need YOUR help naming our new robot. We are asking school-aged children to submit their best idea for our da Vinci’s name.

All entries will go to our Operating Room Committee, who will be making the final decision with plans to announce a winner on November 17.  

The winner will receive a family-fun basket of goodies, including tickets to the Allen Theaters, Rock N Roller Rink and Fly High Adventure Park. In addition, the winner will get his or her photo taken with the robot and our team of experts in the OR, plus a commemorative coin and special plaque. 

The da Vinci Xi System advances the technology used in minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon is 100 percent in control during surgery, utilizing the robotic system’s 3D high-definition camera for a crystal-clear and highly magnified view of anatomy, more precise control and access to anatomical locations that were previously hard to reach. For patients, this translates into the potential for a shorter hospital stay, less post-operative pain, lower rates of complications and faster recoveries.  

The da Vinci is now being used across a spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures at San Juan Regional Medical Center, including procedures performed by the surgeons at San Juan Health Partners General Surgery and San Juan Health Partners Urology

What: Name our da Vinci Robot

Who: School-aged children

When: Submit a name October 17- November 7.
