Providence Little Company of Mary is advancing patient care with three new technologies now in use at its medical centers. These innovations are designed to improve clinical outcomes, reduce complications and enhance the experience for patients and staff.

Surgical Robotics
An innovative surgical robotic system now in use in the South Bay is helping physicians perform minimally invasive procedures with exceptional precision. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, reduced pain and faster recovery times.

Pulsed Field Ablation
This advanced treatment for atrial fibrillation delivers energy in a way that precisely targets heart tissue while sparing surrounding structures. It often eliminates the need for general anesthesia, making the procedure safer and more comfortable.

Focused Ultrasound
A noninvasive alternative to traditional brain surgery, focused ultrasound treats essential tremor without incisions, anesthesia, or hospitalization — offering patients a quicker return to daily life.

These technologies reflect Providence’s commitment to staying at the forefront of medical innovation.
