The hospital will receive three GI Genius modules, which use detection algorithms to help diagnose and prevent colorectal cancer in real time, according to an Aug. 4 news release.

The grant was given by the Medtronic Health Equity Assistance Program with help from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Amazon Web Services. 

The Medtronic Equity Assistance Program is donating 133 GI Genius modules to 62 facilities across the country to improve care for underserved communities, the release said. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
