Tug Making Moves at Canonsburg Hospital

January 10, 2006

Fifty times a day at Canonsburg General Hospital, Aethon's Tug robot is making rounds from the ER to the lab, hauling blood, urine and other specimens down the long hallways, stopping only occasionally for traffic jams or other obstructions. The robot ensures that ER nurses can spend more time with patients, not delivering specimens to the lab. The Tug arrived at the hospital in December and has been working hard, saving time and money ever since. West Penn Allegheny Health Systems, which includes Canonsburg General, has purchased Tugs for its six hospitals to save money and use professional staff more wisely.
