- Wireless vitals monitors to continuously relay patients’ vitals directly to their medical records and to care team members’ phones in emergencies, while providing patients unrestricted mobility and minimal disruptions to collect health information.
- Nightly “quiet hours” and red night lights to minimize environmental sleep disturbances.

Oh, my gosh! I was dreading having yet another skin cancer surgery but I was pleasantly surprised by the treatment I received yesterday. Annie is the BEST at deadening! One tiny stick and despite her giving multiple shots over the next 3 hours I never felt a thing! Dr Walia is amazing - very professional and really knows her stuff! I have a long history with these procedures and she is the best! My only complaint would be the table which was hard on my bad back but next time I will bring a cushion. Overall I was super impressed with the whole experience. I will NEVER go anywhere else!
