The hospital received a multimillion-dollar investment from an undisclosed source, according to the report, which was used in part to acquire the Excelsius GPS. 

The Globus medical robot can reduce surgery time from three hours to 45 minutes. There are only 45 Excelsius GPS robots in use in the country, according to the report.  

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
