CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS), announced a funding award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to Boone Memorial Hospital, Inc. to support its procurement and installation of state-of-the-art robotic surgery equipment.
This award, which was secured through a Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) request made by Senator Capito in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), will be used to procure and install state-of-the-art robotic surgery equipment, like the da Vinci Xi Single System, to improve patient care and keep care local.
"I was proud to advocate for- and help secure this funding that will bring the best possible surgical tools to Boone Memorial Hospital," Ranking Member Capito said. "Acquiring advanced equipment for our rural hospitals can lead to greater ability to deliver the highest quality care to rural residents. This will also help make sure patients can get the treatments and surgeries they need, recover faster, and return to living their lives on their own terms."
