Delta, CO – (February 25, 2026) — Delta Health is ecstatic to announce the addition of the state-of-the-art Da Vinci Surgical System, marking a major milestone in expanding advanced surgical care for the community. This cutting-edge robotic-assisted technology will enhance precision, safety, and recovery for patients while broadening access to specialized services, including Urology procedures.

The addition of robotic-assisted technology allows Delta Health patients to receive highly specialized surgical care close to home.

There have been great successes with the rollout of Da Vinci surgeries. Kyle Nickel, M.D. and William Cole, M.D. of Delta Health Surgical Clinic are currently scheduling patient procedures with this robotic assisted surgical system, and are excited to offer this new technology.

“Our commitment is always to provide the safest, highest-quality care possible,” said Julie Huffman, Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Legal Officer of Delta Health. “Bringing the Da Vinci Surgical System to our hospital represents a transformational step forward. This technology allows our skilled surgeons to perform more complicated procedures, with greater precision, while improving recovery times and overall patient experience. Most importantly, it keeps advanced care close to home for the Delta County communities we serve.”

The Da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through small incisions using high-definition 3D visualization and instruments that provide greater range of motion than the human hand. The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.

Robotic-assisted surgery is associated with significant patient benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including:
• Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
• Less blood loss and lower risk of complications
• Reduced postoperative pain
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster return to normal activities

“Clinical studies have shown that minimally invasive robotic procedures can reduce hospital length of stay, compared to open surgery, while lowering rates of surgical site infections and complications,” said Delta Health Surgeon William Cole, M.D. “The system’s enhanced precision also supports improved techniques, which can lead to better functional outcomes after complex surgery.”

This technological milestone would not have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of the Delta Health Foundation. Through an incredible lead donation, and the launch of its new capital campaign, the Foundation continues to help secure funding for the Da Vinci Surgical System.

“The Delta Health Foundation is proud to partner with Delta Health in bringing the most advanced, up-to-date technology to our hospital,” said Jessica Ayotte, Delta Health Foundation Executive Director. “For 25 years, the Foundation has been deeply committed to enhancing healthcare in Delta County, and we remain steadfast in our mission to support Delta Health in delivering the highest quality of care to our community.”
