Kaiser Permanente’s Robotic Surgery Program has been honored in the Advancements and Innovation in Health Care category of The Daily Record’s 2026 Health Care Heroes Awards!

Robotic surgery can mean smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and for many patients, the ability to return home the same day or next day.
