Northern Light Health is committed to making healthcare work for the people of Maine, from Portland to Presque Isle. This spring the health system is renewing its commitment to high-quality, advanced orthopedic care. Northern Light AR Gould Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Mercy Hospital and Maine Coast Hospital’s orthopedic surgical teams have all recently welcomed robotic surgical devices to their programs.
“Robotic advancements allow us to more closely tailor procedures to patients,” says David Carmack, MD, MBA, FAAOS, lead physician, Northern Light Surgery and Trauma Specialists – Orthopedics. “They’re one more tool to ensure we’re able to meet the specific needs of individual patients so they can get back to doing the things they love.”
“We’re pleased to be able to introduce this advanced approach to orthopedic surgery to more Maine communities,” says Charlie Therrien, senior vice president, Northern Light Health and president, Mercy Hospital. “Investing in the most recent technology not only helps our system’s clinical experts deliver great care, it helps attract the best surgical teams possible to care for all of our communities.”
Surgeons and patients at all four hospitals are already experiencing the personalized precision and enhanced accuracy that come along with expert use of the technology, delivering on Northern Light Health’s promise to make healthcare work for people statewide.
