St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center

St. Patrick Hospital was the first facility in Montana to have a da Vinci® Robot. The surgical robot is an exciting new addition to the cutting edge technologies provided by St. Patrick Hospital.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.

The da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
