Lima Memorial Health System was one of the first in the country to adopt the da Vinci Robotic Surgery Technology, and Dr. Jeremy Heffner and his team have set the standard that other hospitals across the county come to Lima to learn from. Heffner says nearly 10 years ago when they started doing robotic surgeries, colleagues and patients would ask why you are doing this, but now they are asking how. He says the robot has become the true way of doing surgeries now because the less invasive procedures put patients on the path of recovery quicker.
