Our reputation for technological
advances started back in 1910 when Saint Raphael's acquired its first X-ray machine, opened its first pharmacy and dispatched its first motorized ambulance. In 1940, Saint Raphael's opened a School of Medical Technology, one of the first in the nation. In 1950, Saint Raphael's established its leadership role in both cancer and cardiac care by opening Southern New England's first freestanding, self-contained radiation therapy center and being one of the first community hospitals in New England to perform open-heart surgery.
This tradition continues today. For example, Saint Raphael's uses a state-of-the-art computerized system on-wheels that virtually eliminates the use of paper in prescribing and administering medications and is safer, quicker and more efficient.
We're the first in New England to use the Powerheart® bedside monitor-defibrillators. Saint Raphael's cardiac patients are monitored around-the-clock by a new device that not only identifies irregular heart rhythms, but immediately administers a life-saving shock to prevent cardiac arrest.
Saint Raphael's was also the first in the state with physicians who use the
Cardioblate™ pen. The pen-like device can help patients with irregular heart rates reduce their dependency on blood thinning medication and, ultimately, avoid the risk of stroke.
Great people require challenges and leadership to remain engaged. We provide the opportunity for you to work with leading edge technology and learn the latest techniques.
