When asked what it felt like to own such impactful technology that no one else has yet , Henderson replied with three words full of enthusiasm : “ I love it !”
“ It [ the technology ] has enabled us to do a few things ,” he added . “ For one , it has been critical to change the perception of the hospital from where it was to where it is . It has made people sit up and notice that we are serious and do what we say we will do . It also enables us to attract top specialists in the field because they want to use that technology — which adds to the reputation and prestige .”
Looking to the Year 2020 “ We are a vibrant , growing and excited organization with a big future — which creates lots of opportunities to participate in ,” said Henderson .
