Student and School Can Win in

“Name Our Robot” Contest

The Boulder Community Hospital “Name Our Robot” contest is a fun way to learn about robotic technology AND win big!  The winner will receive $100, plus a $100 donation to his/her school, and a private tour of the da Vinci operating room for the winner and guests.

BCH began performing surgeries with the advanced da Vinci Surgical System in January of this year, and our patient feedback has been outstanding.  The da Vinci’s sophisticated robotic technology enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with unrivaled precision.   Patients experience significantly less pain, less scarring, shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities. 

Our specially trained da Vinci surgeons have collectively performed more than 100 procedures in less than 10 months.  We're celebrating this achievement with a contest that educates students about this revolutionary technology.
