AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Foundation, continuing its strong record of philanthropic work and investment in AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach, has contributed $475,000 to expand the hospital’s orthopedic robotic surgery program.
This major contribution is provided by generous donors, the hospital’s auxiliary, and funds raised by the Foundation’s Board of Directors through events, including the annual Holiday Charity Ball.
"We are extremely grateful to the Foundation, our Auxiliary, and the many friends of our hospital for this generous gift,” said Dr. Dennis Hernandez, CEO of AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach. “With these funds, we will continue building our robotics program to give patients access to advanced surgical care. Ultimately, this will help us deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients, improving the lives of those we serve."
The hospital brought the first surgical robot to the community in January with the da Vinci Xi® minimally invasive system, now widely used for general, gynecological, colorectal, and urological procedures.
“This is proof of the incredible community we have here,” said Cindi Flanagan, Chair of the AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Foundation. “When we all come together, we can make big things happen. This gift will have a lasting impact – not just for our current patients, but for those in the future too."
With more than 250 surgeries performed this year with the da Vinci system, the addition of a second robot will focus on orthopedics, including partial and total knee replacement procedures. Several new orthopedic surgeons have recently joined the team to meet this growing need.
“Our focus on cutting-edge technology and world-class clinical talent is about one thing: delivering the best care possible to the community,” said Dr. David Goldman, chief medical officer of AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach. “This donation ensures our clinicians can continue to lead the way in exceptional care and innovation.”
