Advancements at St. Vincent’s 119 & St. Vincent’s East

      

????????????????????????????????????St. Vincent’s One Nineteen recently completed the first surgery, a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) implant, in its new outpatient surgery center. Otologist Grayson Rodgers, MD, performed the surgery, one of the first BAHA implants in Shelby County. The BAHA device helps patients with hearing loss who are not candidates for a traditional hearing aid. The device transmits sound waves through the bones in the skull to stimulate the cochlea – completely bypassing the outer and middle ear. The new outpatient surgery center offers a range of same-day surgical procedures, learn more at www.onenineteen.com.
