Highly Advanced Technology
SJMO relies on high-tech, advanced technology to deliver even better healthcare. This includes:
Robotic surgery via the innovative da Vinci® Surgical System. Surgeons at SJMO are able to use this technology to make smaller, more precise incisions during surgical procedures, simply by manipulating controls on the robot. The surgeon remains in control for the entire time.
Through telemedicine, SJMO—the home of the state’s first certified Primary Stroke Center— changed the Michigan landscape of stroke care by creating the Michigan Stroke Network, a network of hospitals that collaborates via telecommunications and information technology to deliver stroke diagnoses and treatment options, even when the patient is far away from the hospital.
SJMO features a highly advanced Simulation Lab, plus a new South Patient Tower that gives clinical staff access to high-tech, patient-centered technologies.
