At Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital,
the fundamental tenets of health care will never change: Care and compassion come first. Treat every patient as you would treat your own family. Consider their emotional health as well as their physical health. Acknowledge the needs of their families and caregivers. However, technology is changing the way that care is delivered — and Tuomey Hospital is committed to staying at the front of that technological tide. Today, innovative robotic-assisted surgery can reduce patients’ pain and hospital time. The growth of telemedicine brings high-quality care to schools and impoverished areas, allows quicker treatment for stroke and mental health issues, broadens the care in the intensive care unit. Infusion pumps deliver medicine and nutrients with precision. Implanted defibrillators use digital networks to give cardiologists up-to-theminute data on their patients. Linear accelerators target cancer cells precisely and with minimal impact on other tissues. As we look to the future, the goal continues to be to provide the highest-quality, safe care; find new and innovative ways to help our community stay healthy; widen access for consumers; and, when possible, allow more people to heal at home.
