Leading medicine on the cutting edge

Riverside is committed to finding the newest technologies to enhance patient care. In fact, the hospital has incorporated in-room cameras to the Hybrid OR to record and transmit surgeries so that specialists, residents and doctors in training can observe and contribute to procedures without being in the operating room, for a more efficient and private operating environment.
