Nicholson Center held its grand opening Oct. 6.The center, which is expected to train 20,000 surgeons a year in minimally invasive techniques, is a brand new 54,000-square-foot, two-story, $54 million facility at the Florida Hospital Celebration Health campus. The hospital plans to hire 75 permanent jobs with the new center, which is projected to have a more than $13 million annual economic impact.
The facility has six da Vinci robots, at $1.8 million a pop, 40
endoscopic surgical stations, a medical simulation center, and an innovation and
technolgy accelerator. The Department of Defense awarded the Nicholson Center a $4.2 million grant
to study ways telemedicine technology can be used in surgery. What’s more, the
hospital is open to companies looking to partner, especially those already
working in military simulation that want to translate their work into the
medical field.
