Becoming a center of excellence is precisely the point. The surgeons at St. Joseph’s Hospital-South are experts in performing general, gynecologic, colorectal and urology robotic procedures using the da Vinci ® Surgical System. And we’re accredited as a Center of Excellence by the Surgical Review Corporation for practicing the gold standard of robotic surgery. This award distinguishes St. Joseph’s Hospital-South from other hospitals by showing that we meet nationally recognized standards and provide the highest quality of care to our patients. Additionally, we help keep our patients, team members and physicians safe by encouraging social distancing and using face masks in our facilities. Robotic surgery gives patients lots of benefits including shorter hospital stays, reduced blood loss and smaller incisions, which reduces the risk of infection. Plus, faster recovery times which means you can get back to your normal activities sooner. And that’s pretty excellent. Learn more: StJosephsSouthRobotics.org

re a s e nate SO IS CLEAN ENERGY.
Hi Neighbor! Did you know TripAdvisor rates our Manatee Viewing Center as the No. 1 thing to do in Apollo Beach? That makes our snouts smile! But besides providing a sanctuary for the gentle giants, we’ve got other giant – and clean and green – happenings in SouthShore. • We’re modernizing our Big Bend Power Station (winter home of the manatees) to drastically reduce our coal use. • Later this year, we’ll open the Clean Energy Demonstration Center near the Manatee Viewing Center, featuring interactive games to help teach kids about clean energy.
Learn more about our clean energy advances at
• At our Big Bend solar fields, flocks of grazing sheep make a very cute (and environmentally friendly) alternative to lawn mowers. By the end of 2023, our solar arrays will power 200,000 homes.
