Bariatric Surgery
Our Bariatric Surgery Center specializes in life-changing weight loss procedures for patients with morbid obesity. With an 80% success rate in sustained weight loss, our surgeons offer gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative education, personalized surgical planning, and long-term post-operative support. This program addresses obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea while improving overall quality of life through multidisciplinary care.
Robotic Surgery
Our robotic surgery program utilizes the da Vinci Surgical System for enhanced precision in complex procedures. This technology enables smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Our surgeons perform robotic-assisted procedures in urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic, and general surgery specialties. Patients benefit from shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain, and improved surgical outcomes through this cutting-edge technology.
Emergency Care
Strong Health provides 24/7 emergency care at multiple locations, including the region's largest emergency department at Strong Memorial Hospital. Our board-certified emergency physicians treat all medical emergencies, from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions. With advanced imaging capabilities and rapid response teams, we deliver timely, high-quality care for trauma, cardiac events, strokes, and pediatric emergencies across Upstate New York.
Home Health Services
Our home health agency provides skilled nursing, physical therapy, and personal care services to patients recovering at home. Certified professionals deliver wound care, medication management, and rehabilitation services for post-surgical patients and those with chronic conditions. This program reduces hospital readmissions while maintaining high-quality care through personalized treatment plans and regular clinical monitoring by registered nurses.
Geriatric Fracture Care
Our specialized geriatric fracture program addresses bone breaks in older adults through coordinated orthopedic and medical care. Multidisciplinary teams manage hip fractures, spinal compression fractures, and other injuries while addressing age-related complications. The program focuses on rapid surgical intervention, pain management, and rehabilitation to restore mobility and independence while preventing future fractures through bone density assessment and fall prevention strategies.
