Absolutely amazing!! So happy our fundraiser got to be a part of helping bring ROSA to Saskatoon.
Dr. Persad is going to continue doing amazing work with this new resource!!!
You made this possible. The first robotic epilepsy surgery in Saskatchewan has been completed at Royal University Hospital, thanks to our donors.
Supporters from across our province raised $1.2 million to bring the ROSA (Robotic Stereotactic Assistance) robot to RUH, affectionately named Erin in honour of an inspiring $700,000 lead gift from Merlis Belsher and his family. Saskatchewan patients living with drug-resistant epilepsy no longer need to leave home for this advanced level of diagnostic care.
Thank you for giving families hope, closer to home.
