WNYT: Health Beat — Long-Term Effects of COVID-19

St. Peter’s Health Partners, WNYT NewsChannel 13, and the Times Union held the 18th annual “13 Kids Who Care” banquet on Tuesday, June 14, at the New York State Museum in Albany. At the event, WNYT’s Bob Kovachick spoke with some of this year’s honorees.

WNYT interviewed James K. Reed, M.D., president & CEO of St. Peter’s Health Partners, for its story on the health care system’s 20,000th robotic surgery milestone. From the story: These minimally invasive robotic surgeries began back in 2004 using a computer enhanced Da Vinci Surgical System. The system allows surgeons to see in 3D, so they can perform operations with extreme precision. There are only 26 health systems worldwide that have achieved this same accomplishment.
