On display were various placards, each one highlighting accomplishments that have been made to the benefit of patients and staff.
VP of digital health innovation and research, Ron Johnson, calls it a “snapshot” of what’s happening in the system, noting there are many other accomplishments they could be highlighting.

Of the achievements on display, Johnson says they celebrated advancements around robotic-assisted surgery, as well as a pilot program for continuous glucose monitoring for pediatric patients.
With that project, Johnson says they are seeing a 91 per cent improved ease of monitoring blood sugars, a 55 per cent increase in quality of life, and a 64 per cent improvement in people’s ability to participate in daily activities, and better sleep.
