Telesurgery, a more welcome "new norm"!?
In the age of coronavirus, an operating room isn’t exactly the easiest place to follow social distancing guidelines!

Data and perspective
We are probably all tired of news about the COVID-19 virus and we are definitely living with the effects every day. As individuals, as businesses, and as societies we will continue to have to make important decisions on how we will organize our lives now and in the future. Good data helps me make good decisions and keep things in perspective. Perspective is hard to keep when the news is about the coronavirus nearly 24 hours per day.
Dana Barnard joins himed as CEO
If you were given a choice as to the ideal moment to start a new assignment, you probably would not choose “in the middle of a pandemic”. Yet, here we are, and I happily started this great new opportunity as CEO of himed on April 1. The world will undoubtedly recover from this tragedy but, I am quite sure we will all operate differently going forward.
Himed is open and operating right now, and our company has established new ways to stay safe while providing products, services, and support to customers. We are happy to share with you what we are doing if it might be helpful in your operations. Likewise, we would love to hear your new best practices as you return to operation.
