Sovah Health

We are pleased to announce that our new surgical robot will now be named "Billy." A community-wide contest began in May to name the robot and ended in June with nearly 150 entries. Billy was chosen as the name of Sovah Health – Danville’s new surgical robot. Erica Smith took home the prize of a $100 Amazon gift card and shared, “Billy means "desire to protect,” in hopes that this will enhance a patient’s experience and be safe for them. But more so to honor one of our beloved surgeons, Dr. William Sweezer, whom we lost in 2020. He cared deeply for our patients and staff.” To read the full release, visit our website athttps://lnkd.in/eafH65ia
