Stay Informed

Eye on the future

At UHS, our top priority is always our patients. Every day, our dedicated teams strive to deliver the highest quality care to those who have placed their trust in us. This commitment drives us to stay up-to-date with the latest medical technology and innovative advancements. One area where our innovation is making a difference is in orthopedics, particularly in treating ACL injuries. Our cover story in this edition of Stay Healthy highlights the groundbreaking BEAR® Implant, revolutionizing ACL tear treatment.

As you read through this issue, you will learn how our teams work closely with patients throughout their healthcare journey, ensuring they have the information and tools needed to make informed decisions about their treatment. Transitioning from pediatric to primary care can be daunting for young patients, but our team is here to provide guidance and support during this important stage.

Regardless of age or medical needs, our providers and healthcare professionals are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. In our previous issue, we introduced the Wilson Main Tower, a significant addition to UHS’ services at UHS Wilson Medical Center. I am excited to announce that the tower is now open, serving as the new entrance to a wide range of healthcare services.

Thank you for taking the time to stay informed about your own care and the many resources offered at UHS. It’s our pledge to ensure that this magazine is useful to you as you make those all-important choices about your health and wellbeing. Our progress and achievements are driven by our unwavering commitment to meeting your needs as a patient and staying at the forefront of medical innovations. We are here to provide you with the tools necessary to achieve wellness and lead your best life, both now and in the future.
