Test drive robotic surgery simulator at Eisenhower Medical Center

Eisenhower Medical Center is the first hospital in the Coachella Valley to offer robotic-assisted surgery with the da Vinci Xi Surgical System.

Now it’s also the first hospital in the Coachella Valley to offer the public a chance to test drive the virtual simulator, which surgeons use for training purposes.

Officials said the hospital will also offer da Vinci for outpatient surgeries.

The public is invited to test drive the virtual simulator on Tuesday, May 26 from noon to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Those interested are asked to meet in the hospital lobby, located at 39000 Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage.

Surgeons will be at the event to answer any questions you may have about the robotic technology.
