Meet Larry! 🤖

Last night, we loved welcoming our community to Meet the Robot, where guests got an up-close look at our new surgical technology and met some of the team members who have put it to work for our patients.

We also revealed the community-selected name for our robot: Larry, which stands for Locally Advancing Rutherford Robotics for You.

And really, that name says it all. This investment is about bringing advanced technology and high-quality surgical care closer to home for the people and communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special!

Happy !💙

This week, we're recognizing Summer, one of our outstanding phlebotomists!

After a recent visit, a patient took the time to recognize Summer for the exceptional care and kindness she provided. Out of everyone involved in their care journey, Summer stood out and made a lasting impression.

What's even more remarkable is that this isn't the first time. Since joining our team, Summer has been recognized by name several times by grateful patients.

Thank you, Summer, for consistently going above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of our patients. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment to exceptional care do not go unnoticed!

100 procedures—and 100 care plans built around individual patients.

Dr. Dietrich Kayser, board-certified orthopedic surgeon, recently completed his 100th robotic-assisted knee replacement at Rutherford Regional. The CORI Surgical System helps him map each patient’s unique anatomy and personalize the surgical plan while he remains in control throughout the procedure.

For people living with ongoing knee pain, this milestone means access to advanced orthopedic care close to home—supported by a local team throughout treatment and recovery.

A lump is not the only possible sign of breast cancer. Changes such as swelling, skin dimpling, discharge, redness, pain or a change in breast size or shape are worth discussing with a healthcare provider. Knowing what is normal for you can make it easier to notice a change. If something feels different, start the conversation.

💊 Behind every medication is a team committed to patient safety.

During Pharmacy Week, we’re celebrating the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are an essential part of our hospital care team.

Did you know? Hospital pharmacy teams work closely with physicians, nurses, and other caregivers to support safe and appropriate medication use throughout a patient’s stay.

Their expertise may often be behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout the patient journey. Thank you to our Pharmacy team for everything you do! 💙

Back on her feet. Back to say thank you. 💙

After a critical illness and a difficult recovery, Donna returned to Rutherford Regional—not for treatment, but to thank the care teams who helped her regain her strength.

During her visit, Donna reconnected with her physical therapist, Sebastien, and ICU nurses Amanda and Yashica—three members of the care team who supported her throughout her recovery.

With a new great-grandchild inspiring her along the way, she’s now returning to her own work caring for others.
