A Message from the CEO...

I was in New York City last week doing the Christmas scene with my sisters and 12 million of my closest friends. It was fairly crazy. Actually; it was absolutely crazy. (I literally saw a rat jump on people in Times Square.) We rode the subway, walked 75,000 steps, ate a bunch of weird food, and shopped.

Holiday Season and Mental Health

For many people, Christmas and the holiday season are a happy and joyous time. But for some, the holidays can be very stressful and bring on symptoms of depression and anxiety, or increase symptoms that people are already struggling with.

Tips to Prevent Winter Falls

Winter is here, and with it comes snow, ice, and other slippery conditions. During the winter months, the most common accidents (including slips, trips, and falls) often happen thanks to the dangerous conditions created by cold, wind, snow, and ice.

Meet ROSA® - Robotic Surgical Assistant

Getting a precise knee implant fit is important to your comfort and overall experience following knee replacement surgery.
