🚀The future of surgery and healthcare came to life at our recent Technology, Innovation, and Compassion Physician Panel where we discussed the latest developments in robotic surgery and technology at Providence St. Jude Medical Center.

A special feature of the evening was the latest da Vinci 5 surgical system, where guests had the unique opportunity to take it for a test run! This marvel of robotics will revolutionize surgery with key improvements like the introduction of force feedback technology, improved 3D imaging, and enhanced ergonomics for surgeons. For patients, access to these technologies means minimally invasive procedures, less pain, and significantly faster recovery time.

Generous donors enabled Providence St. Jude to acquire the previous generation da Vinci systems, and many of them attended this special event to see what could be in store for the future.

Thank you to Jennifer Venator, Executive Director of Nursing, for moderating and to our esteemed physician panelists:
Dr. Nikolai Bildzukewicz, Foregut Surgery
Dr. Harjivan Kohli, Urology
Dr. Melanie Santos, Urogynecology

We’re proud to share that Manu and Rika Shah, co-founders of MSI —a leading North American supplier of flooring, countertops, wall tile and hardscaping products—have made a transformational philanthropic gift to Providence St. Jude Medical Center to establish the Shah Happiness Center for Cardiovascular Health. This visionary investment will expand access to advanced cardiovascular care, support innovative treatment programs and help meet the growing demand for heart health in our community.

For Manu Shah, this gift is deeply personal—25 years of expert care at Providence St. Jude following a heart attack inspired a legacy of gratitude and giving. As the Shahs beautifully shared, “Success was never just about what we could achieve—it was about how we could uplift others along the way.”

The Shah Happiness Center for Cardiovascular Health will support five high-impact focus areas:

• Caregiver education

• Community health programs

• Lifesaving technology

• Preventative cardiology care

• Recovery and rehabilitation

We are deeply grateful to Manu and Rika Shah for their generosity, vision and commitment to advancing our Mission to provide compassionate, excellent care to every person we serve.
